Beyond all the big names already announced, The Ellen DeGeneres Show's final season will mark the return of a full in-person studio audience, with all attendees being checked for vaccinations. Prior to now, the show utilized screens as stand-ins for its crowd, and there's no mystery that people were eager to return to the studio for her final year. It's reported that somewhere around 155,000 requests came in from fans requesting to be in those seats for the final season.
