misconduct on her set, the host cozying up with warmonger George W. Bush, her softball interview with Kevin Hart following reports of homophobia on his part, and rumors that she’s not the nice person she portrays on TV, DeGeneres is facing a new challenge: a large drop in viewership.Normally one of the pillars of daytime TV, The Ellen DeGeneres Show has seen a huge drop in ratings over the last six months.
DeGeneres has lost over a million viewers since the beginning of 2020. Over the last six months, her show has averaged 1.5 million viewers an episode, which may seem like a lot, until you realize she was averaging 2.6 million viewers this time last year.
