Ellen DeGeneres announces she is quitting Hollywood: 'Got kicked out of show business for being mean'

<p>During the two weeks in the run-up to the finale of her long-running talk show, American media personality and TV host Ellen DeGeneres has been quite emotional.<br />
<br />
According to Page Six, a source has revealed that "Ellen's been crying a lot. The whole few weeks leading up to the finale were very emotional."<br />
<br />
She had filmed her final episode of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' on April 28 and it is set to air on May 26, featuring an A-list lineup of guests, including Jennifer Aniston and Pink, both of whom appeared on the very first episode on September 8, 2003. And while DeGeneres was sad to see the end of her 19-year run, she didn`t want to go out with a bang. "She wanted to go out quietly. It was friends and family of the cast and crew in the audience," a highly-placed TV source told Page Six.<br />
<br />
Since the show's debut, the comedian has welcomed tons of celebrity guests, many of whom became targets of her good-natured pranks. However, its reputation took a hit in 2020 after allegations of toxic set behaviour surfaced.<br />
In a July 2020 letter to staff obtained by Us Weekly, the host said she'd always wanted the show to be a "place of happiness," and she apologized for the change that had taken place.<br />
<br />
The Emmy winner later stated that the accusations were "very hurtful" to her, but claimed they weren't the reason she decided to end the show. "If I was quitting the show because of that, I wouldn't have come back this season," she told The Hollywood Reporter.&nbsp;<br />

Ellen DeGeneres preps for an emotional farewell from TV

<p>After Oprah, Meghan Markle is now speaking to Ellen DeGeneres. The Duchess of Sussex will appear on Thursday's episode of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' and talk about her days as an actress and not the royal family.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The official handle of the show shared a preview of her segment which will have Markle looking back on her life as an actress before she married Britain's, Prince Harry.<br />
<br />
When asked by DeGeneres if it's true that she used to go to the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California (where the show is filmed), the duchess replied, "Oh, my gosh, completely. I would park at Gate 3, and then I would scoot on over. And what was so nice was that the security guards here would always say, 'Break a leg! We hope you get it!' So driving in today was very different."<br />
<br />
DeGeneres asked, "You auditioned that often that they knew you to say, 'Break a leg?'"<br />
<br />
"I think they probably said it to everybody," Meghan answered. "That's how nice they were."<br />
<br />
Markle also shared a story of her old car- a Ford Explorer Sport- which she said "had a life of its own."<br />
<br />
"I had this very, very old Ford Explorer Sport, and at a certain point, the key stopped working on the driver's side, so you couldn't get yourself in through the door," she said. "So after auditions, I would park in the back of the parking lot, and I would open the trunk and climb in, and then pull it shut behind me, and crawl over all my seats to get out. That's how I would come to and fro. It was not ideal."</p>

<p>When DeGeneres asked if anyone ever caught the future Duchess while she climbed into her car's truck, Markle said, "No. I would play it off. I would go like, 'Oh, I'm just looking for my résumé and my highlighters for my script. Oh, maybe it's back there!' And then crawl. The things we do."</p>

<p>Markle and DeGeneres have been friends for years. The two first met at a dog shelter, where DeGeneres reportedly encouraged her to adopt her dog Bogart.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Ellen goes 'Is that your dog?' And I said, 'No,' and she's like, 'You have to take that dog.' And I said, 'Well, I'm deciding.' And she's like, 'Rescue the dog!'" Meghan told Best Health in 2017. "It's sort of like if Oprah tells you to do something. I'm sitting there holding him and she's like 'Have you thought of a name for him yet?' And I said, 'Well, I think I'd name him Bogart,' and she's like 'You're taking the dog home.'"</p>

The Ellen DeGeneres show to return for one last time with fully vaccinated audience and high profile guests

<p>In May 2010, well before the TikTok era, a 12-year-old from Oklahoma named Greyson Chance was summoned to the 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show.'</p>

<p>&nbsp;A couple of weeks earlier, Greyson had found early viral fame after he posted his middle school talent show performance of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” on YouTube. When Greyson came on the show, where he sat in a plush chair directly across from the daytime star and discussed his Gaga cover, the YouTube video had 1 million page views.</p>

<p>His 'Ellen'&nbsp;appearance brought him to a new stratosphere. In the following days, media coverage around the 12-year-old sensation exploded, and his performance ballooned to more than 30 million views. Madonna’s and Lady Gaga’s managers began representing him. DeGeneres signed him to a record contract.</p>

<p>“It’s crazy thinking about 30 million people,” Greyson said when he returned to the show two weeks later. “It just makes me happy.”</p>

<p>Next year, DeGeneres will step down from her daytime talk show, signing off after a 19-season run of light jokes, celebrity interviews and cash giveaways. But perhaps one of the most enduring legacies of her show was the host’s role in the early viral video economy: Making an appearance on 'Ellen'&nbsp;brought a viral sensation a whole new wave of clicks, fame and cash.</p>

<p>“She was the originator of creating viral content off of other viral content,” said Lindsey Weber, one of the hosts of “Who? Weekly,” a podcast focused on celebrity culture. “She would take a moment that went viral and level it up. She had so many viral people on her show, and being on her show was the pinnacle of their viral success.”</p>

<p>As viewing habits changed, so did DeGeneres’ role as a patron saint of digital stars.</p>

<p>In the last year, shortly after Warner Bros. conducted an investigation into workplace misconduct on the set of 'Elle',&nbsp;DeGeneres’ role in daytime television has diminished. Her viewership figures have plummeted 44% this season, and competitors like 'Dr. Phil'&nbsp;(2.4 million viewers) and 'Live With Ryan and Kelly'&nbsp;(2.6 million) are now beating 'Ellen'&nbsp;by roughly 1 million viewers.</p>

<p>Likewise, if a YouTube or TikTok performance begins to catch steam, a stop on 'Ellen' is no longer a key step to hitting a new threshold of fame.</p>

<p>“Ellen could pluck you off YouTube and make you a star,” said Joe Kessler, the global head of the United Talent Agency’s UTA IQ division, which uses data analytics to advise clients on digital strategies.</p>

<p>Now, he said, performers can achieve similar success — or even greater success — by engaging their fans and by mastering the various digital platforms themselves.</p>

<p>“It’s interesting that the end of Ellen’s show coincides with YouTube and other video platforms exploding to the point where they are now the mainstream,” he continued. “Creators don’t need traditional mainstream affirmation to build enormous audiences now.”</p>

<p>But before do-it-yourself content creation became an industry, there was 'Ellen.'&nbsp;In 2010, five years after YouTube was founded, the show introduced a segment called 'Ellen’s Wonderful Web of Wonderment,'&nbsp;which promised to “find undiscovered talent online &amp;&nbsp;share it with you!”</p>

<p>As more viral stars appeared on her show, when an online video gained traction a decade ago, “people would reply or comment on these videos: ‘Tell Ellen!’ ‘Call Ellen!’” Weber said. “That was weirdly the assumed next step for everyone.”</p>

<p>The year after Greyson Chance appeared on “Ellen,” the show invited 8-year-old Sophia Grace, a burgeoning internet personality, and her cousin Rosie to come in from England and to do a cover of a Nicki Minaj song. That video now has more than 144 million views on YouTube.</p>

<p>An 'Ellen'&nbsp;appearance usually featured a twist, too. When Greyson came on, Lady Gaga herself phoned in to the show. When Sophia Grace appeared on 'Ellen,'&nbsp;Nicki Minaj made an appearance, and the 8-year-old flung herself into the singer’s arms.</p>

<p>And an appearance on 'Ellen'&nbsp;served a dual purpose: It would call attention to the viral content, and the appearance itself could go viral too, making for a two-for-one way to reach millions.</p>

<p>“The interviews she did with these viral personalities would get millions or tens of millions of views,” said Earnest Pettie, who leads YouTube’s trends and insights team. “It would be as visible as the original source material itself.”</p>

<p>Money could be made, even if it wasn’t at the level of an influencer now. In 2009, when David DeVore posted a video of his 7-year-old son, also named David, groggily returning home from the dentist, the video got millions of views and became an early YouTube hit. By 2010, DeVore estimated that the family had taken in $150,000 from all the exposure. And they’re not quite finished milking it, either. This month, DeVore auctioned 'David After Dentist' as an NFT, or a nonfungible token, a digital collectible item, BuzzFeed reported. It sold for $13,000.</p>

<p>Kessler, from UTA, estimated that big digital personalities in the early 2010s could make in the mid-six figures.</p>

<p>An influencer now can make in the millions, and in a handful of cases, tens of millions. And as YouTube and TikTok helped the influencer industry take flight, DeGeneres’ role began to wane.</p>

<p>“If we’re comparing it to now, people’s viral moments are shorter,” Weber said. “In the time it takes as a producer to call and say, ‘Come on Ellen!’ there’s a new viral moment somewhere else. It’ll be passé.”</p>

What TikTok stars owe ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’

<p>It is going to be the end of an era. Popular chat show host Ellen DeGeneres is ending her daytime show in 2022. DeGeneres says that after hosting one of America's most popular chat shows for 19 years it was time to do something different.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
DeGeneres, 63, told her virtual audience that the show had been "the greatest experience of my life" and thanked her fans for watching. But she said she needed "to take a break from talking."<br />
<br />
"My instinct told me it`s time. As a comedian, I`ve always understood the importance of timing," she said.<br />
<br />
"Recently, I had a dream that a bird, a beautiful bird with bright red feathers, came to my window and whispered, `You can still do stuff on Netflix.` And that was the sign I was looking for," she quipped.<br />
<br />
'The Ellen DeGeneres Show,' produced by AT&amp;T Inc`s Warner Bros and syndicated to TV stations, has won more than 60 Emmy awards.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The decision comes six months after the show and the host was plagued by accusations of toxic work environment on the sets.&nbsp;<br />
Three top producers exited the production in 2020, and DeGeneres apologized, promising "a new chapter."<br />
<br />
She told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday that public attacks during that time "destroyed me" but did not influence her decision to end the show. That choice, she said, was made when she extended her contract for three years in 2019.</p>

<br />
DeGeneres started her career in stand-up comedy in her New Orleans hometown before moving to television, starring in the comedy 'Ellen' in the mid-1990s.<br />
<br />
In 1997, both she and her TV character came out as a lesbian long before gay people were accepted in mainstream America. 'Ellen' was canceled a year later, but DeGeneres returned to television in 2003 with her daytime show.<br />
<br />
An advocate for animals, gay rights and anti-bullying campaigns, DeGeneres became known for promoting kindness and compassion on her light-hearted show.<br />
<br />
DeGeneres told The Hollywood Reporter that her future plans are uncertain. She said she is open to movie roles and wants to be more involved in environmental conservation efforts.</p>

It is going to be the end of an era. Popular chat show host Ellen DeGeneres is ending her daytime show in 2022. DeGeneres says that after hosting one of America's most popular chat shows for 19 years it was time to do something different. DeGeneres, 63, told her virtual audience that the show had been "the greatest experience of my life" and thanked her fans for watching. But she said she needed "to take a break from talking." "My instinct told me it`s time. As a comedian, I`ve always understood the importance of timing," she said. "Recently, I had a dream that a bird, a beautiful bird with bright red feathers, came to my window and whispered, `You can still do stuff on Netflix.` And that was the sign I was looking for," she quipped. 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show,' produced by AT&T Inc`s Warner Bros and syndicated to TV stations, has won more than 60 Emmy awards. The decision comes six months after the show and the host was plagued by accusations of toxic work environment on the sets. Three top producers exited the production in 2020, and DeGeneres apologized, promising "a new chapter." She told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday that public attacks during that time "destroyed me" but did not influence her decision to end the show. That choice, she said, was made when she extended her contract for three years in 2019. Ellen DeGeneres loses 1 million viewers post addressing toxic work place allegations DeGeneres started her career in stand-up comedy in her New Orleans hometown before moving to television, starring in the comedy 'Ellen' in the mid-1990s. In 1997, both she and her TV character came out as a lesbian long before gay people were accepted in mainstream America. 'Ellen' was canceled a year later, but DeGeneres returned to television in 2003 with her daytime show. An advocate for animals, gay rights and anti-bullying campaigns, DeGeneres became known for promoting kindness and compassion on her light-hearted show. DeGeneres told The Hollywood Reporter that her future plans are uncertain. She said she is open to movie roles and wants to be more involved in environmental conservation efforts.

Ellen DeGeneres gets support from celebrity friends as she begins new season of her show amid controversy

<p>Ellen DeGeneres on Monday opened the new season of her popular television talk show by apologizing to staff after reports of a toxic work environment on her set and saying changes had been made to start "a new chapter."<br />
<br />
Three top producers on the "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" exited the show, producer Warner Bros. said in August after an internal investigation into complaints of bullying, racism and sexual misconduct against them.<br />
<br />
"I learned that things happen here that never should have happened," DeGeneres, 62, said in the opening monologue for the premiere of her show`s 18th season. "I take that very seriously and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected."<br />
<br />
"We have made the necessary changes and today we are starting a new chapter," she added.<br />
<br />
Over the summer, weeks of backstage turmoil undermined the show’s public message of spreading kindness and happiness.<br />
<br />
Reports of a hostile workplace have included criticism that DeGeneres is mean-spirited. These prompted a social media campaign calling for her replacement and public statements of support for the comedian from the likes of Katy Perry, Kevin Hart, Alec Baldwin and Ashton Kutcher.<br />
<br />
DeGeneres, who is gay, joked that she was a good actress because she has played straight women. "But I don`t think that I`m that good that I could come out here every day for 17 years and fool you," she said of her reputation for kindness.<br />
<br />
"I am that person that you see on TV," she said. "I am also a lot of other things. Sometimes I get sad, I get mad, I get anxious, I get frustrated, I get impatient. And I am working on all of that. I am a work in progress."</p>

Three top producers on the 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' have exited the popular television talk show, Warner. Bros said on Monday, after an internal investigation into complaints of bullying, racism and sexual misconduct against them. A spokesperson for Warner Bros. Television, which produces the show, on Monday said that three senior producers had "parted ways" with the show. The departures followed weeks of turmoil backstage that has undermined the show`s public message of spreading kindness and happiness. Reports of a hostile workplace have included criticism that DeGeneres is mean-spirited. These prompted a social media campaign calling for her replacement and public statements of support for the comedian from the likes of Katy Perry, Kevin Hart, Alec Baldwin and Ashton Kutcher. DeGeneres, 62, on Monday spoke to the staff of her show via Zoom in what Variety said was an emotional and apologetic address. Variety cited multiple sources as saying that DeGeneres told staff she was "not perfect" and that it was "heartbreaking" to read allegations about the atmosphere on the set.
