DeGeneres has a huge social media presence, with more than 33 million Twitter followers and six million followers on Instagram. In 2013, she ventured into the app world with the release of her game, Heads Up!, which has more than 5.5 million paid downloads to date.

“Ellen” viewers will hear the news on Thursday’s episode.

“It’s a place that you can find videos that are hilarious and interesting. We’re going to post things from the show that you won’t see anywhere else,” DeGeneres said. “And what makes our site different than any other place is that if you accidentally type in a wrong word, you’re not going to stumble upon something that’s bad or mean or something like that. You know how that can happen. So everything on the site is fun, and there is nothing mean-spirited.”
