Ellen DeGeneres is Ending Her Show Because it Doesn’t ‘Challenge’ Her, Not Because Ratings are Falling and Everyone Hates Her
Ellen DeGeneres is ending her long-running talk show because it no longer challenges her, she said on the Wednesday episode. If Ellen really wants to spread her wings and try something she’s never done before, she could try not being a bitch.
DeGeneres claims that the allegations against her had nothing to do with her decision, telling The Hollywood Reporter “If I was quitting the show because of that, I wouldn’t have come back this season. So, it’s not why I’m stopping, but it was hard.”
I mean, she also may have tried to sweep it under the rug and when her ratings plummeted she went “okay, I’m getting out now while I can do it and save face.” That’s just my guess at the thought process. Quitting this season would have meant that she lost the battle of public opinion, and staying long enough for her viewership to evaporate would mean the same. This way she gets as close as she can to leaving on top.
You know who got a big kick out Ellen quitting her show? Twitter.

Ellen DeGeneres says poor ratings and toxic workplace allegations didn’t play a part in her decision to end The Ellen Show after 19 seasons.
