So, that was it.”Warburton claimed that DeGeneres, 66, was not happy with his decision and confronted him while he was dining with a friend. “Two weeks later, I'm having lunch at a restaurant called Orso in Beverly Hills with a buddy of mine having lunch and Ellen walks up to the table and she goes, ‘Too big to do my show now, huh?’ and I go, ‘No, Ellen.’ I go, ‘I just had a conflict,’ which she probably sensed was just bulls--- and she walked away.” “So it was just interesting, but just sort of knowing her, I realized at that point on, there was a reason why I was never ever gonna be invited on her talk show,” he continued, referring to theEllen DeGeneres Announces Dates for Her 'Final' Stand-Up Tour Across North America “What I recall working on that show was that as far as crowd work and talking, she was just this remarkable comedian, you know, at the very, very top of the game,” he said. “She was as good as anybody, but it was just weird.” “It was just weird because when you say you have a conflict and you don't do something, you seem like you're gonna be fine with that,” he added. “You don't expect the star of the show to walk up to you and call you out on your s— and that's all it was, and then I always knew, it was like, ‘Oh, Ellen's got a great show.
