Be nice

How to change things?

Ellen DeGeneres doesn't make it clear.

In addition, she promises that this 18th season of her show will be a "new chapter" for her and her teams.

Three of the producers involved in the scandal were dismissed, and the presenter intends to put forward the slogan that has animated the program since its inception: "Be Kind", in other words "Be Gentiles".

“I thought the world needed more kindness and it reminded us that we all need it, and I think we need it more than ever right now.

Let me give you a tip: if someone is thinking about changing their title or giving themselves a nickname, don't go "be nice".

Do not do it.

But the truth is, I'm that person you see on TV.

I am also other things, ”she concluded with humor.
