A spokesperson for Warner Bros revealed in a statement that executive producers Ed Glavin and Kevin Leman, as well as co-executive producer Jonathan Norman, have “parted ways” from the long-running daytime talk show.
Their dismissal comes in the wake of accusations that the Emmy-winning series – which has been on the air since 2003 – has become a toxic work environment for its staffers.
During the initial coronavirus lockdown in April, Variety reported that the core stage crew heard nothing from their bosses for weeks other than to expect a significant decrease in their pay, leaving them with uncertainty on whether they should apply for unemployment benefits.
