Today’s the day you’ve been waiting for - Ellen’s Farewell Season begins!

What better way to celebrate than with her friend and fellow talk show host, JIMMY KIMMEL! The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host will be here to help kick off Season 19 and even has a major surprise gift for Ellen!

Then, Ellen welcomes four NICU nurses from New Orleans’ Ochsner Baptist Hospital. They are part of a 65 person team who volunteer to stay at the hospital through emergencies and bravely did so recently as Hurricane Ida hit the city. They’ll talk to Ellen about how many parents of NICU babies were asked to evacuate and shared why they stayed with the newborns at the hospital as the storm passed through.

Plus, incredible surprises and memorable cameos you don’t want to miss.
