Ellen DeGeneres Show: TV Guide News

Emmy-winning, upbeat talk-and-variety show featuring celebrity interviews and music performances, tinged with the appealing DeGeneres's off-the-wall observational humor (plus her own rather unusual style of dancing). There's also a refreshing sense of viewer participation, as she often reads fan letters on air, calls people just to chat and recognizes acts of kindness that were brought to her attention.

VIDEO: Simon Addresses His Fantasia Face-Drop on Ellen | The Great American Idol Blog | 5/21/2008
Most of you remember last week's Idol results show when Fantasia busted onto stage like a whirlwind, leaving the cameras no choice but to show Simon's jaw-dropping reaction. Yesterday, the Idol judge explained his shocked expression on Ellen. And in reference to whether or not he thinks Fantasia will ever speak to him again after the incident, his response was in true Simon fashion — jerky! — Gina DiNunno read more

Dissed Ellen DeGeneres Sours on Big Apple Trip | Today's News: Our Take | 11/14/2007
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ellen DeGeneres has decided against taping her talk show in New York next week in light of the Writers Guild's letter angrily disinviting her. In response, both her union and her production company reminded the poison-pen wielders that she was contractually obligated to return to work, so they can just simmah down now. (Since I'm kinda looking forward to that special winter edition of Big Brother, I assume I'll soon be getting some hate mail from the WGA, too.) — Ben KatnerMore WGA strike coverage:• Producers Blast WGA's Use of "Fear and Intimidation"• CBS News Writers May Join Walkout Come Monday• Indie Film Producers: Hey, We're Not the Bad Guys! read more
Striking WGA Extremely Disappointed with Ellen | Today's News: Our Take | 11/12/2007
Officially addressing Ellen DeGeneres' decision to cross picket lines and continue with her daytime talker (see Strike Watch blog), the Writers Guild of America East has sent out a letter expressing its "extreme disappointment" in the comedienne/host, saying, "We find it sad that Ellen spent an entire week crying and fighting for a dog that she gave away, yet she couldn't even stand by writers for more than one day. We ask Ellen to cease doing shows immediately."Easier said than done. A rep for Ellen producer Telepictures tells the Reporter that the daytime series — unlike The Tonight Show or Letterman (which are contracted to their respective networks) — is at risk of losing its time slot in markets or being sued for breach of contract if it stops delivering original content. The rep adds, "We also wish to preserve the 135 jobs of the staff and the crew whose livelihoods depend on the show continuing."Related:• Ellen Defends Crossing of Picket Line But Still Gets... read more
Ellen DeGeneres Defends Her Crossing of Picket Line But Still Gets Dissed | WGA Post-Strike Watch: News About Returning Shows | 11/9/2007
Today on Ellen, DeGeneres will defend her decision to cross the WGA picket line and continue with her show. But to at least one former associate, the choice is simply indicative of DeGeneres' overall dismissive attitude toward underlings."I love my writers.... I support them and hope that they get everything they're asking for. And I hope it works out soon," Ellen says in a transcript of the telecast cited by Page Six. "In the meantime, [audience members] have traveled across the country. They're here. I want to do everything I can to... give you a show."A former writer for The Ellen Show, however, in a blog for SurgicalStrikes.com, says, "I'm disappointed in Ellen but not surprised... given what I've seen from her with my own two eyes. We'd watch her in rehearsals, smiling and winning us over with her charm and comedic timing. Then the director would yell cut... and she'd level a glare at the writers."DeGeneres' rep did not respond to Page Six's request for comment.Where do you... read more
