Ellen DeGeneres to end long-running TV talk show next yearNEW YORK: Ellen DeGeneres, following a ratings hit with allegations of running a toxic workplace, has decided that the upcoming 19th season of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” in 2022 will be the last. DeGeneres told The Hollywood Reporter that “as great as this show is, and as fun as it is,” it’s no longer a creative challenge. The host, who built her brand on the motto “Be Kind,” opened season 18 with a lengthy apology. Three producers exited amid allegations of a workplace that harbored sexual misconduct and racism. While the allegations were “very hurtful,” they didn’t influence DeGeneres’ decision to leave.
