I learned that things happened here that never should have happened, she said.

She explained that she started saying be kind after Tyler Clementis 2010 suicide as a result of anti-gay bullying.

And I think we need it more than ever right now.

DeGeneres continued, The truth is, I am that person that you see on TV.

I am also a lot of other things.

Sometimes I get sad.

And I am working on all of that.

Toward the end of her monologue, DeGeneres offered another apology.

My hope is that we can still be a place of happiness and joy, she said.

I still want to be the one hour a day that people can go to escape and laugh.
