There are fewer people more beloved in Hollywood than Ellen Degeneres. Her history and unique story have Americans captivated but her comedy is what has kept her at the forefront of daytime television. She interviews guests that we all would like to meet and asks them the questions the average person would. Her relentless kindness and positive attitude sets her apart. Her show is on NBC so you’ll have to use that channel’s streaming capabilities to watch Ellen online.

Maybe this is enough to get you your Ellen fix for the week or you just wanted to see that interview with Leonardo DiCaprio. You’ll have to look elsewhere for online streaming of the entire Ellen series.
Is Ellen on Netflix or Hulu?
Nope. Netflix and Hulu, along with other streaming services have yet to crack the code of daytime television. It’s difficult to boot up a device, log into an app, search for a show and start watching. Daytime TV, including Ellen, has relied on laid back, stay at home individuals to stumble upon their programming. Netflix doesn’t really work that way yet. Maybe in the future we’ll see Ellen on Netflix in some form but today is not that day. Same goes for Ellen on Hulu.
