“Twenty-five years ago, they canceled my sitcom because they did not want a lesbian to be in prime time once a week. And I said, ‘Okay, then I’ll be there every day,’” DeGeneres said. The end was bittersweet. DeGeneres’s reputation as a lover of entertainment had been challenged after allegations by former employees that its producers allowed a toxic working environment on set. A sea of change has struck the shape of the day this year, as many veteran hosts call it day. As audiences flock to the stream, the band has not seen such a reversal since Oprah left her cloak as queen of the day in 2011.
The day will be different in the future: former Oprah producer
Ellen DeGeneres appears during a commercial break in a videotape of her show in Burbank, California on October 13, 2016. The presenter’s departure from this year’s popular talk show was the latest in a series of daily TV shakes. (Andrew Harnik / The Associated Press) Last week, Wendy Williams’ favorite show ended in a mediocre style – 12 seasons later – without Williams himself. In fact, the series has been a revolving door for guests since July 2021, when the former shock hit a health-related pause. In the fall, her day job will be occupied by former The View co-presenter and actress Sherri Shepherd, who often filled Williams’ vacancy while on leave. While Williams never reached the heights of Ellen’s popularity, she and her show were praised and occasionally criticized for their unfiltered nature. In recent years, Williams has become a popular meme on the Internet, with TikTok users gathering the best moments and the best moments. q12: 06 The controversy over Show Ellen DeGeneres is explained On this week’s q-panel panel, arts and entertainment writers Teri Hart and Ishani Nath reported allegations of bullying, racism and sexual misconduct behind the scenes of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. They also discuss the popular Netflix Indian Matchmaking series. “People are thinking [the] talk [genre] it ‘s so easy. They think they are just sitting and can host a talk show. “These are incredible shades,” said Candi Carter, a former producer on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The View and Tamron Hall. “You have to be able to direct content and direct a show, but also be very vulnerable and sensitive. And it’s not so much about you, but enough about you that people care; you don’t know who this person is until you see it. “You’re in the seat.” After a career of 31 years, the trusted Maury Povich with trash-talk-TV closed his paternity tests: “Enough, already!” said the host on his departure. Queer Eye co-presenter Karamo Brown, a frequent guest on Maury, is leading a self-help program produced by Povich’s team this fall. Dr. Oz left his lifestyle show in January. The retired Oprah surgeon and protégé, whose critics say he promotes frivolous and controversial products, is a candidate for the United States Senate. His schedule was replaced by Daphne Oz’s daughter The Good Dish, which was later canceled. CLOCKS A first promo for The Jennifer Hudson Show: Tamron Hall received a Daytime Emmy on Friday for her talk show of the same name, and EGOT award-winning singer-actress Jennifer Hudson is collaborating with DeGeneres producers on a show of the same name that will premiere in September. The question is whether these new, traditional programs will have an audience – and where will this audience watch them. Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk, for example, is streamed to Facebook Watch and usually lasts less than 30 minutes. “[Daytime television is] “It’s just not as profitable a place or as popular as people are on the internet,” said Stacy Lee Kong, founder of the pop culture newsletter Friday Things. Carter, who left her role as executive producer of Tamron Hall in 2021, said she believes there is still an appetite for the day. it may just look different in the future. “It’s not going to be a 30-minute show, necessarily. It will be a five-minute segment on a streamer or social networking site, versus the hourly, very expensive syndicated show that has to be sold on stations. I think this model could collapse. ». Traditional programs extend their lifespan and their audience on social media. DeGeneres has garnered millions of views on YouTube by posting excerpts from its anti-virus show. Imagine Nicki Minaj singing with young fans Sophia Grace and Rosie or Gangnam Style Psy singer teaching Britney Spears his typical dance. Finally, DeGeneres has just launched its own version of the video platform: Ellentube. CLOCKS Kelly Clarkson performs Billie Eilish song during “Kellyoke”: Pop singer Kelly Clarkson, who won seven Daytime Emmys on Friday for the third season of The Kelly Clarkson Show, seems to fill the void left by DeGeneres. In addition to happy celebrity interviews, Clarkson clips of other artists’ songs, called “Kellyoke”, are popular on TikTok. “Sometimes you don’t want to be as serious as The View, you want something light, fluffy, foamy. And Kelly Clarkson can offer that,” said Jillian Bowe, editor-in-chief of Daytime Confidential. Clarkson’s joint talk show has moved to DeGeneres’ main afternoon this year.
Oprah’s legacy lasts, 11 years later
Prior to the 2003 Ellen Show, Oprah Winfrey’s talk show had been running since 1986 – a respectable standout between the Maurys, Ricki Lakes, Jerry Springers and Jenny Joneses of the time. Until the end of its operation in 2011, it was a necessary appointment for many, a cultural behemoth. “It was just expected that you were watching the Opera in the same way you were watching the six o’clock news or the 11 o’clock news,” Kong said. As audiences flock to live streaming, daily television has not seen such a reversal since Oprah left its show in 2011. (Jordan Strauss / Invision / Canadian Press / AP) The television landscape has changed dramatically since Winfrey left in 2011. It is no longer a simple matter of day-to-day programs competing with each other, Kong said: now, “competition is really everything”. “So you are not competing with other TV presenters during the day: you are competing with TikTok and Instagram and you know what is happening on every other platform. So there, I think, is a little more obvious change,” he said. he said. Not all was bad news for broadcast. In December 2020, data measurement company Nielsen reported that the pandemic led to an increase in daytime viewership across North America as the business class began working from home. More than 26 million Canadians watch TV every day during the day, ThinkTV television advertising said in an email to CBC News. But the most popular daily shows are newscasts and soap operas, he said. When the last episode of Oprah aired 11 years ago, Nielsen said it had attracted 16.4 million viewers. Instead, 1.8 million viewers tuned in for Ellen’s last show in May.
New dawn for blacks, racist hosts
Part of both Oprah and Ellen’s legacy is that they normalized the presence of a black woman and a lesbian respectively, leading their own shows on mainstream television. While racist hosts on television were seen as a “risky investment” among executives, the appearance of Hudson, Brown, Hall and Shepherd on the stage of the day shows that these behaviors have evolved, Kong said. The more opportunities BIPOC hosts have for success, the less common this narrative will be: “Oh, I have to get approval, or is it specialized, or do I have to convince you that it’s worth it,” Kong said. As with any program or form of program, the day is simply renewed, Bowe said. “It needs to be renewed, so to speak. I mean, you have people still asking, ‘Well, what will be the next Oprah?’
