So glad to read this. He was insufferable and depressing for sooooo long. |
Um, no? He walked away with no. 1 ratings. He has high self-awareness, isn't THAT greedy, and knew he was getting too old. |
Maybe GenXers and Boomers just have a more cynical sense of humor. Ellen is funny. People have loved watching her show and being on her show. |
You’re wrong. He said it to Steve Kroft on 60 Minutes: It’s not my decision,” Leno tells Kroft. “I think I probably would have stayed if we didn’t have an extremely qualified, young guy ready to jump in.” |
LOL—You know nothing. |
If Leno wanted to host at 60+ he easily could have done so at Fox. He walked away. |
That apology seems pretty heartfelt to me. I still like her even though I know that funny people are also often sort of unhappy and sometimes mean! But that doesn’t mean she’s not funny, or a good host. |
I am all for a person improving themselves as long as they're alive, but Ellen wasn't about to change. This is all because it came a head and threatened her career. And if the change isn't sincere, it isn't going to last beyond this public apology phase. |
^^ an additional point is that she's probably even more bitter these days for being forced to cry and apologize. |
kalen Allen, who has a segment on her show, has a lot of new content and he said he’s going to be on television soon. I am very curious if he is still tied to the show or not. I think he is great. |
No way would Leno have gone over to Fox. Too humiliating for the ego. |
Her apology today (9-21) was weak. Really, really weak.
Especially when she said "I am sorry IF I hurt your feelings." IF?! Hell no. Her whole "look, sometimes I'm sad, sometimes I'm grumpy" portion was bullshit. You know what Ellen? Sometimes I'm sad or grumpy but I don't ever allow my employees to be harassed, or tell them not to look at or talk to me, or scream at them. Because I'm a freaking professional. |
Her show has lost over 1 million viewers since she was exposed as a fraud. "Steep decline."
