“The Ellen DeGeneres Show” closes. Is it the end of an era?

Ellen DeGeneres has decided to close and the choice would have nothing to do with the accusations made against her in the past year. The blonde, who has hosted one of the most popular daytime talks on US television since 2003, said she made her choice after careful consideration. “As wonderful and fun as it is,” he explained to theHollywood Reporter, “This show is no longer a challenge.” Too much time, therefore, too many days spent pretending laughter, enthusiasm, embarking on interviews with more and less weird characters.

Ellen DeGeneres would like to change, and only the spontaneous movement of her artist soul would govern her decision. The blonde, in an interview granted to the American magazine, did not want to give any weight to discontent with their team. Who, last year, complained about a hard cut in wages, to then tell how “toxic” the working environment was. L’Ellen DeGeneres Show, according to some of its employees, it would have been a place steeped in racism, where micro-assaults and systematic bullying would have worn down the mental health of those who worked there. Three producers were fired in the aftermath of the allegations, and Ellen DeGeneres wanted to open the 2020 season with a personal apology. However, the burden of the proof of others would be exhausted there, in the apology of the hostess.

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come back on the air”, he swore to theHollywood Reporter, explaining that the talk show will close its doors at the end of the 2022 season, nineteen years after his debut. What awaits the blonde in the near future, she at first said she has no idea. But uncertainty does not seem to worry DeGeneres at all, whose disappearance from the schedules marks an unstoppable change of era.

Like the Kardashians, determined to record one last season of their reality show, so the presenter seems to have surrendered to the overwhelming power of social media, which has now become a substitute for linear television. Barack Obama, who once chose theEllen DeGeneres Show to read a love poem to his Michelle, he began to compulsive his dedications online. Britney Spears, interviewed in a supine position, with a lot of gym clothes on, has documented via Instagram so many dances and small confessions that she does not need any television coverage. social networks have become the window on the world that each spectator has learned to slip into his pocket. And why on earth, then, should she bother sitting on the sofa waiting for Ellen DeGeneres to do what can be seen online ?, wilderness and new frontier of entertainment.
