But if I was quitting the show because of that, I wouldn't have come back this season. The backlash did take a toll on the show's ratings, however. While the season 18 opener had the highest rating of an "Ellen" premiere in four years, the show has lost more than a million viewers since September.
According to data from Nielsen, the program averaged around 1. Since starting "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the comedian has racked up more than 64 Daytime Emmys and helped normalize queer representation on television.
In the Hollywood Reporter interview, DeGeneres said she had planned to end the show after season 16, but agreed to extend her contract by three years. The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which has aired since September , will come to an end in after its 19th season. The daily mix of comedy, interviews and human interest stories has been a US television staple, though ratings have declined in recent years. That was the plan all along. DeGeneres' show broadcast its 3,th edition last month, which its host admitted had been an "emotional" experience.
The year-old went on to say that last year's allegations that the show's workplace was "dominated by fear" had not been a factor in her decision to pull the plug. According to the Hollywood Reporter, DeGeneres told staff of her decision on Tuesday and is due to give an interview to fellow chat show host Oprah Winfrey on Thursday. Her show has won more than 60 Daytime Emmy awards, the most recent coming when it was named outstanding entertainment talk show in The Ellen Show regularly attracts A-list Hollywood guests and clips from the show often attract millions of views on YouTube.
I just want people to trust and know that I am who I appear to be. You mentioned that it almost impacted the show. What did you mean by that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was four solid months. And you have to understand, in that time, someone got into our house and robbed us and I lost four animals — three cats and a dog died. It was a tsunami. I know who I am. As you start to think about wrapping up, what will you miss the most and the least about this platform? I will not miss hair and makeup every day. Listen, this is my family. I come to work and I laugh every single day. This all became bigger than I ever could have dreamed of.
What do you want to ask her about ending this chapter and starting a new one? First of all, she wears, like, Louis Vuitton heels. No, what you asked is what people are curious about. But when I can be my higher self and look [back] at it, I know all of that happened for me to grow. When I came out [in ] and was so publicly attacked during that time, it also really destroyed me, but then I got stronger and I learned and grew from it. At the same time, you have to learn from it, too.
So, what have you learned? Well, you realize that every single encounter means something. Was that what they meant? I remember years and years ago, my girlfriend at the time and I were taking our dog to be put down.
