One of TV's longest-running daytime talk shows is reaching its end. Ellen DeGeneres has announced today that she is stepping back from her eponymous talk show after its nineteenth season next year. The show had been one of the highest-rated talk shows but has seen massive 40% declines this season following multiple controversies surrounding DeGeneres. This news doesn't come as a complete surprise, as DeGeneres has hinted on multiple occasions in recent years about a potential departure from her show. The show spawned multiple spinoffs, including NBC's Ellen's Game of Games and Fox's The Masked Dancer.
