The DJ and dancer shared another Instagram post, saying goodbye to “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
“How do I say goodbye to a show that changed my life in so many ways? I think if there’s an answer to this it’s to send the show with as much love as possible,” he began writing in an Instagram post with a photo of himself sharing a laugh with Ellen. “Through thought, action, and as Ellen would say before we left the show every day ‘Take this (the feeling in the room) out into the world and spread it.’ That’s how I’ll say goodbye to this show and the moments it created. By honoring them through daily intentions and actions. Always be on the lookout for opportunities to help, opportunities to give and opportunities to connect. To not be shy about telling people that they are seen. That no good deed is too small.”
‘tWitch’ went on to say, “We’ve seen the ripple effects of good that can be done many times. Just because the show is coming to an end, that doesn’t mean they stop and we can’t afford to keep making those waves. So with all the joy and goodness of love in my heart, I say a huge thank you to Ellen, the entire staff at The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and everyone who has been supportive and present throughout this amazing journey.”
“Although we won’t be in the same studio every day, the light and laughter we create together continues to shine and resonate. And whenever we find time to do so, we should amplify the echoes and memories, because they are filled with love, laughter, and kindness,” he wrote. “And that, that’s endless guys. I’m going to end this as tears and snot are flooding my phone. ?? @theellenshow #Finalepisode #FarewellSeason.”
