Ellen DeGeneres has enjoyed a successful daytime career, but she's ready to call it quits.The comedian's syndicated program will air its final original episode on Thursday, after 19 seasons of helping to fill the "feel-good" void in the talk-show genre. The series will stay on the air through the summer to fulfill its commitment to stations that carry it, with guest hosts introducing highlight compilations from its cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval However, Ellen DeGeneres' signature comes much sooner.
It's not true that she decided to discontinue the show recently. She had been considering leaving "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" for some time, as she told this reporter in a 2018 interview for her Netflix special "Relatable," well before any of her employees went public with workplace issues."The talk show has been terrific, but I want to challenge myself, so I'm going to host the Oscars," she said at the time (which she did in 2007 and 2014). As much as I enjoy the (weekday) show, nothing about it bothers me… and I prefer to be creative. I'm a stand-up comedian at heart, and writing is my life."With that stated, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" has been a major player in daytime television. To date, the show has earned 61 Daytime Emmy Awards, including four for best talk show and eight for best discussion show — entertainment. The show's ratings were consistently near or at the top of the ratings for syndicated weekday shows prior to the workplace controversy.
Along with unexpected celebrity appearances and gifts for guests, DeGeneres is known for her dancing, which includes walking into the studio crowd and busting moves. Taking photos with others has also become something of a hallmark for her, after DeGeneres did so with Meryl Streep and Brad Pitt at the 2014 Academy Awards. And various comedy segments from "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" got their own shows ("Ellen's Game of Games," "Family Game Fight!").
Many stations that now broadcast "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," notably those owned by NBC, plan to replace it this autumn with "The Kelly Clarkson Show," which takes a similar approach (and is produced by NBC Universal). Meanwhile, the producers of "The Ellen DeGeneres Program" want to create a syndicated talk show centered on Jennifer Hudson, an Oscar and Grammy-winning singer-actress.
As it comes to a close, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" is leaving its mark… and it will be a significant part of daytime television history.
