Ali Wong, Ellen DeGeneres, and the best Netflix comedy specials in fall 2024

We can't believe the year is almost over. It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating a new year and soon we'll be doing it all over again. 2024 has been a great year for Netflix so far, and there's still so much more content the streamer has yet to release.

An example is comedy specials. We've already seen so many new specials come out over the year, but there is still a good amount left to be released. At the beginning of September, Netflix dropped two specials that were very entertaining to watch. They were Phil Wang: Wang in There, Baby! and Ahir Shah: Ends.

Luckily, there's still one more Netflix comedy special coming out at the end of the month, and it's one that many people are looking forward to. If you're wondering what special we're talking about, all you have to do is keep on reading. It's easily one of the best Netflix comedy specials to be released in the fall. We even decided to share two more highly anticipated comedy specials that are set for fall 2024 releases.

Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval

Well-known comedian Ellen DeGeneres is back on stage to make audiences laugh with her humorous stories and jokes in her upcoming Netflix comedy special For Your Approval.
