Earlier today, it was announced that The Ellen Show is coming to an end after 19 seasons. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the show was no longer a "challenge," which is the reason Ellen gave for the show's end.

However, the ending of Ellen's show comes in the wake of sexual misconduct and toxic workplace allegations, but, according to the statement, these events haven't played a role in the final decision.
And, of course, this news came out only 18 months after Dakota Johnson's infamous interview*.

it will NEVER not be funny to me that Ellen's public downfall started when she lied about not being invited to Dakota Johnson's party, when in reality she couldnt come because she was at a football game with her good friend George W Bush. https://t.co/nVJHddeaSD
