Ellen DeGeneres joked about getting “kicked out of show business” after facing allegations of fostering a toxic workplace environment on her The Ellen DeGeneres Show, adding she “had a hard time.”
For the first time in 18 years, The Ellen DeGeneres Show was snubbed from the Daytime Emmys Best Entertainment Talk Show category as it ends its run in its 19th season.
Talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres is reportedly planning to end her long-running daytime show next season as she deals with plummeting ratings and continued fallout from her show’s workplace misconduct scandal. The Hollywood Reporter said DeGeneres will exit at the end of the 2021-22 season.
Ellen DeGeneres — the winner of dozens of Emmys, and the 2017 People’s Choice award — now appears to have a damaged public image, with her daily talk show, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” losing more than 1 million viewers, after multiple misconduct scandals, and toxic workplace complaints that overshadowed popular program last year.
The banning of six books by Dr. Seuss over concerns that they contain racist imagery has turned the popular children’s author into kryptonite for the left. But as recently as just a few months ago, many cultural elites unequivocally embraced Dr. Seuss, even lending their star power to promote his books.
According to reports, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” is suffering a loss of on-air guests, advertising dollars, and is facing a ratings crash months after accusations that DeGeneres fostered a toxic workplace where harassment was rampant.
