Ellen DeGeneres will end her daytime chat show next year. The news comes after DeGeneres and her producers faced unrest among staffers who alleged there was a toxic work environment on set. The show's workplace culture controversy, including the ousting of three top producers, and her monologue addressing the controversy. 

As great as this show is, and as fun as it is, it’s just not a challenge anymore,” she told Hollywood Reporter. DeGeneres told THR that the drama around the show’s culture “destroyed” her.

In April of last year, the core stage crew complained about communication during the pandemic, according to Variety. In July, the show's workplace faced criticisms in a Twitter thread and a BuzzFeed News investigation. The show's producer told employees there would be an investigation into complaints of intimidation and racism.

Later that month, Degeneres addressed criticisms in a memo sent to the staff of the Warner Bros.-produced talk show. “As we’ve grown exponentially, I’ve not been able to stay on top of everything." In August, DeGeneres ousted three top producers in response to the allegations. At the time, Ashton Kutcher, Jay Leno, Kevin Hart, Katy Perry and more publicly supported Ellen DeGeneres.

In September, DeGeneres discussed the allegations in a monologue for her Season 18 opener. Lip service is cheap. Very unconvincing, people who used to be a big fan are now skeptical. Right now, her empire imploded and people got wounded. She’s walking away a multi millionaire. Not a good look for top PR.
