Ellen DeGeneres' long-running daytime talk show came to an end on May 26.

The news of the show's end came last year after a pandemic-impacted season. "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" went on a brief hiatus when DeGeneres was diagnosed with Covid-19 in December 2020. Staffing changes were also made in the summer of 2020 after some producers came under scrutiny for creating a toxic work environment.

When her show returned for the season 18 premiere, DeGeneres spoke about the negative reports, saying that she was taking "responsibility" and that she was "sorry" anyone had a negative experience behind the scenes.

DeGeneres told The Hollywood Reporter that the drama surrounding her show isn't the reason for her departure, but it definitely impacted her.

The show has won 64 daytime Emmy Awards.

DeGeneres was born in Metairie, Louisiana, in 1958.
