Problems associated with the ‘Ellen DeGeneres Talk Show.’
But recently, there have been allegations about racial behavior and intimidation on both DeGeneres and the show itself. Variety reported about the displeasure of the crew members when their pay was reduced. And also, because of miscommunication and their ill-treatment at the hands of the producers when the show was stopped due to the pandemic and non-union tech staffs were hired for recording the show from DeGeneres’ residence in California.
The incident did much to damage the reputation of DeGeneres, and firing the executive producers: Ed Glavin and Kevin Leman and co-executive producer Jonathan Norman also didn’t help much. DeGeneres was a comic public figure, and her insistence on being kind to her viewers seemed especially in contrast to this maligned reputation.
She addressed the incident and said that though it was very hurtful, she wasn’t quitting because of that incident because otherwise, she wouldn’t be back with this season.
The viewer’s ratings declined both due to other shows coming up, thus fragmenting the show landscape, which was earlier only owned by the DeGeneres show. And also because of viewers getting distracted. The
NBCUniversal led the daytime talk show “The Kelly Clarkson Show” while gaining viewership with its style of performance sections and gentle talks. The news of The Ellen DeGeneres Show was first declared by The Daily Mail.
