ELLEN DEGENERES, A staple of daytime American talk show culture, said today she is ending her show after 19 seasons.
The 63-year-old host, writer, producer, actress and comedian won dozens of Emmy awards for the show and has been a pioneer of the LGBTQ community in America since she came out as gay in 1997.
She insisted her decision to bring the curtain down on the daytime show named after her has nothing to do with allegations in the past year of a toxic workplace environment there, including bullying, racial discrimination and sexual harassment.
“When you’re a creative person, you constantly need to be challenged. And as great as this show is, and as fun as it is, it’s just not a challenge anymore,” DeGeneres told The Hollywood Reporter.
When the complaints from staffers working on the show came out, DeGeneres acknowledged there were problems and pledged to do better.
“It almost impacted the show,” Ellen told the trade publication. “It was very hurtful to me. I mean, very. But if I was quitting the show because of that, I wouldn’t have come back this season.”
DeGeneres is believed to have been considering ending the show for several years.
She is scheduled for a television interview with Oprah Winfrey on Thursday to talk about ending the program.
The final episode is scheduled for the spring of 2022.

Yeh the Germans will jump at that one alright
NEDISY (Fina Fail of Greece) wrecked the country and George and his party are under the wreck now…
We have a really good guy with figures maybe he could help grease. Bertie may not have had a bank account and lived in a bedsit but he apparently was well qualified according to the cert he produced. I think it was one of the FAS Certs for accountancy that we’re given out by some relative of the board member of FAS who was appointed by FF. anyway he is available for a brown envelope.
How pathetic is is that every conversation gets turned around to include Bertie,
We also have another guy called Cardiff who would love to help with the bad figures in Greece. He can count it to 10 don’t let him near millions and certainly not billions as he gets confused – all that said we promoted him and look how well we are now doing.
It’s actually ‘Karolos Padoulias’ not ‘Caralos’. :)
Oops, my mistake. Thanks Evan!
