"Its not a challenge anymore." - Ummm SO that's the reason?! Listen Ellen's show has been around for a very long time so it's no surprise for her to walk away but I think we should be honest, after the news came out that there was a toxic work environment the show hasn't been the same. The show has lost a million viewers in the last year. Now that might be because of drama but also because of the pandemic.
According to reports the upcoming season 19 will be the last. Ellen has already shared the news with her staff and she will sit down with Oprah Winfrey to talk about it.
Ellen told THR "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."
