]]>DeGeneres has been hosting the series since 2003, meaning the show will have run for 19 seasons when it ends. The long-running daytime talk show inspired a number of spinoffs including Ellen’s Game of Games, The Masked Dancer, Family Game Fight, and Ellen’s Greatest Night of Giveaways.
“I was going to stop after season 16. That was going to be my last season and they wanted to sign for four more years and I said I’d sign for maybe for one. They were saying there was no way to sign for one. ‘We can’t do that with the affiliates and the stations need more of a commitment.’ So, we [settled] on three more years and I knew that would be my last. That was the plan all along,” DeGeneres said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
“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,” she told the news outlet.
DeGeneres’ time in daytime was a significant step for LGBTQ representation. She launched the show five years after coming out on the cover of Time magazine. But over the past few years, the show’s ratings have dropped significantly.

]]>The post Ellen DeGeneres is Considering Ending Her Talk Show appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>The 60-year-old daytime TV host is having mixed feelings about her talk show. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Ellen revealed that she thought twice before extending her contract through to 2020. Being such a major decision, the comedian got candid about consulting her brother and wife Portia De Rossi along the way.
“She gets mad when my brother tells me I can’t stop,” DeGeneres says of her wife, who said in return, “I just think she’s such a brilliant actress and standup that it doesn’t have to be this talk show for her creativity. There are other things she could tackle.” No matter what happens, de Rossi explained, “I don’t see the end of her show as her career ending.”
One of the issues is that Ellen feels that the show isn’t representative of her true self.
“The talk show is me, but I’m also playing a character of a talk-show host,” she said. “There’s a tiny, tiny bit of difference.” “She’s just a bit more complicated than she appears on the show,” de Rossi told the outlet. “There’s more range of emotion.”
This isn’t the first time Ellen opened up about what the next phase of there career would look like. Back in January, she told Today co-host Hoda Kotb was a guest on her talk show, “I don’t know [what I’m looking forward to],” she said. “That’s why I’m going to keep doing this until I figure that out.”

]]>Sheindlin took home $147 million pretax, mostly thanks to the fact that she sold the rights to 5,200 past episodes of Judge Judy to CBS alongside the rights to future episodes of the show for around $100 million. The remaining $47 million came from the annual salary for hosting the series and earnings she pocketed as Hot Bench producer.
Ellen DeGeneres, the host of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, managed to claim the second spot on the list earning $87.5 million pretax. Besides the fee received from hosting the popular talk show, DeGeneres’ earnings were boosted by the $20 million check she received earlier this year for her Netflix stand-up special. She also earns millions in producer salaries and licensing fees.
Dr. Phil McGraw has a successful year behind him, starting several different ventures that helped him earn more than $77 million pretax. Besides hosting Dr. Phil, one of the most popular daytime talk shows on television, McGraw also increased his bank account by producing shows The Bull, The Doctors and Daily Mail TV as well as cofounding the app Doctors on Demand.
The list of highest paid TV hosts in 2018 concludes with American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest, who earned $74 million, and Family Feud’s Steve Harvey, who pocketed $44 million.
In order to compile the list, Forbes used data from Nielsen, Box Office Mojo and IMDB, alongside information from sources within the industry and estimated earnings from June 1, 2017, through June 1, 2018.
