Ellen DeGeneres is mulling a return to television.

The 68-year-old former talk show host revealed she misses being on TV “a lot” during her visit to The Graham Norton Show on Friday (October 16).

“I’ve nothing really going on and I really miss being on TV,” she admitted during her appearance. “I miss a lot about it — laughing with the writers and the audience. I think about doing stuff here.”

Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi, 53, chose to take a break from Hollywood and they moved to the United Kingdom in 2024.

“I think it is pretty easy to get on TV here,” the stand-up comedian joked, pointing out that the U.K. has a variety of shows, such as “a pottery show,” a “sewing show,” and even shows about “people watching TV shows.”

Her comments appeared to reference The Great Pottery Throwdown, The Great British Sewing Bee, and Gogglebox, per People.

Ellen has mostly stayed out of the spotlight since her long-running The Ellen DeGeneres Show ended after 19 seasons in 2022 amid allegations of a toxic workplace.

Last month, she was spotted hanging out with Meghan Markle at a pub in Oxfordshire.
