Ellen DeGeneres Is Probably Not Quitting Her Talk Show
Bow out (dis)gracefully and stay at home in one of her many mansions while counting “Finding Nemo” residual checks for the rest of her life? Not on Ellen Degeneres’ watch! She’s probably going to hammer her bullshit “Be Kind” message into people’s heads until she’s physically removed from the set of that nightmare talk show of hers. At least that’s what is being reported in the news, following a rollercoaster year, month, week for Ellen.
The Daytime Emmy Awards Were Handed Out (Virtually) Last Night
And yes, Alex Trebek (seen above at last year’s ceremony) won another Daytime Emmy even though his show airs in the evening. That’s the POWER of Alex Trebek!
Last night, the Daytime Emmys (the ugly step-sister of the more glamourous Primetime Emmys) were handed out, virtually––and for yet another year, a whole lot of NOTHING passing as riveting television won big. I can’t relate to anything on-air in the mornings because I’m usually either still passed out, or nursing an edibles-and-wine hangover while barely holding it together in a Zoom call. But after reading this list of winners, it’s clear that I’m not missing out on anything.
“The Ellen DeGeneres Show” Will Continue For At Least Another 3 Years
Ellen DeGeneres is planning on keeping her role as America’s favorite fun aunt for at least another three years. Despite rumors that she was planning on dropping the facade that EVERYTHING IS FUN AND GREAT when her current contract expires in 2020, Deadline reports that she’s just signed a contract that will keep The Ellen DeGeneres Show playing silently in the background at laundromats and airports until the year 2022.
What Some Of The Daytime Talk Shows Did For Halloween
There are few things more American than the enduring tradition of daytime talk show Halloween hi-jinks. You take a bunch of middle-aged talking heads, a squad of professional makeup artists and costume designers, and a squealing studio audience; put ‘em in a pop culture blender on puree and voila! Whoopi Goldberg dressed as a purple baby vampire. And there’s no getting out of it at this point. It’s a whole thing now, everybody must participate. Do you think Ryan Seacrest enjoys sitting in a makeup chair for three hours and getting cinched up in a corset? I don’t know his life! But he does it whether he likes it or not.
