The 19th season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show will be the last as the talk show host announced her departure in the wake of allegations of a toxic work environment.
The decision to leave has been several years in the making, according to the comedian who said she had been wrestling with the idea since 2018. She admitted that she wanted to stop with Season 16 but Warner Bros. wanted her to sign on for four more years. Doing another year was not feasible so they agreed on three more years, which would end the show in 2022 at Season 19.
