Ellen DeGeneres To End Talk Show , After 19 Seasons.
‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ is coming to an end. .
The 63-year-old daytime television host privately discussed
her decision to sign off with ‘The Hollywood Reporter.’ .
According to DeGeneres,
the show’s 19 seasons
have been “fun,” but it's
“just not a challenge anymore.” .
I’m a creative person, and when you’re
a creative person you constantly need
to be challenged … And as great as this
show is, and as fun as it is, it’s just not
a challenge anymore. I need something
new to challenge me, Ellen DeGeneres, to 'The Hollywood Reporter'.
She also revealed that
her decision to end the
show was actually several
years in the making. .
I was going to stop after season 16. That was
going to be my last season … we [settled] on
three more years and I knew that would be
my last. That’s been the plan all along. , Ellen DeGeneres, to 'The Hollywood Reporter'.
Although she’s not sure
what’s next, DeGeneres does
know that her first challenge
is to “sit still for a minute.” .
I don’t know how long I’ll be able to do that
because I’m like a Ferrari in neutral. I’m
constantly needing to go. So, that’s my first
challenge and then I’m going to figure it out, Ellen DeGeneres, to 'The Hollywood Reporter'
