On Thursday, The Ellen DeGeneres Show officially came to its conclusion when the long-running talk show taped its final episode.

DeGeneres last show will air next month on May 26th and will exit the afternoon landscape it has been a part of since 2003.

The announcement came via Ellen herself on her Twitter account.

She also added this message: “When we started this show in 2003, the iPhone didn’t exist. Social Media didn’t exist. Gay marriage wasn’t legal. We watched the world change, sometimes for the better, sometimes not. But whatever was happening, my goal was always for the show to be a place where we could all come together and laugh for an hour.  Being invited into your lives has been the greatest privilege of my life and has brought me incredible joy. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

Ellen’s ride during her final years of the run of the talker have been marred in controversy over the allegations that she fostered toxic workplace environment.  In May of 2021 with much backlash, she revealed that the 19th season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show would be her last.  However she said her decision to exit at that time had nothing to do with what was happening behind the scenes.

The final episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show will celebrate the 25th anniversary episode of the “coming out” episode of her sitcom, Ellen.  She shared in the opening monologue: “When I came out, people warned me that it was going to ruin my career, and they were right for a while.  Actually, for exactly three years, I lost my career. But look at me now.”

So, what are your thoughts now that The Ellen DeGeneres Show is done with its 19-year journey? Are you going to watch the final episode? Comment below.

It’s too bad that a person who became a bazillionaire from a talk show still can’t talk honestly. Her ending the series had nothing to do with the toxic workplace of the show? Who does she think she’s kidding? Too bad some of the courage it took to come out couldn’t make an appearance now.

‘The View’s’ Whoopi Goldberg Tells Audience to Stop ‘Booing’ Republican Senator Tim Scott

During a bizarre couple of segments of Monday’s episode of The View, Republican presidential candidate, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, was the special guest.

The conversation between the conservative politician and The View co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro took some uncomfortable and tense turns.

At one point, Goldberg posed the question to Scott, as to why the Republican Party was trying to “stop the progression that people are making.” Scott started answering and said that his political party was doing a “fabulous job at making progress” with social issues. Hostin  asked him to elaborate on that point.  It was then, that the senator turned his back to Goldberg, which promoted Whoopi to interject “That was me talking to you …. shall I come next to her?”

Goldberg then stood next to Hostin as Scott continued to face away from the other co-hosts and address the two.  After proving her point, Whoopi went back to her seat a The View table.

Then, production signaled Goldberg to toss to break, but Scott was continue to speak.  So instead of interrupting him, someone else from the production staff walked on camera and told Scott they were going to break.

However, when the show returned, and Ana Navarro asked her question, if the senator thought the ‘Republican Party had gone too far’ in introducing legislature against the LGBTQ+ community, including Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, plus Floria governor and Republican presidential candidate, Ron DeSantis’ feud with Disney, Scott’s response drew ire from some in the live audience with many booing the guest.

Next, Goldberg shut down the ‘boos” scolding the audience with: “Not here. I’m sorry sir. Do not ‘boo’. This is The View. We accept … we don’t have to believe everything people say, but you cannot “boo” people here, please. You cannot do it.”

Watch the ‘daytime drama’ on The View below, and then let us know what you thought of Tim Scott’s appearance on the ABC daytime talk show via the comment section.
