At present, the other Ellen DeGeneres show is joining the list of canceled Television shows. This time, NBC is pulling the plug on the primetime series hosted past DeGeneres: the contest bear witness Ellen'southward Game of Games (which spun out of her regular talk show).

Yes, sometime daytime TV queen DeGeneres' Game of Games aired in evenings for four seasons, simply it won't go a fifth (at to the lowest degree on NBC). Deadline bankrupt the news. The prove final broadcast on May 2021, and during that year the serial' audience shrunk by a considerable amount.

Ellen'due south Game of Games, where she was both creator and executive producer, evolved from the games that Degeneres played with her celebrity guests on her talk evidence. Challenges included Aw Snap! and Name Dropper, and then ii regular terminal rounds began with Know or Go, where contestants answered trivia questions while standing on a trap door. This was followed past Hot Easily (also called Hotter Easily), which was adjusted into a mobile game.

The winners of each episode would competed for a $100,000 greenbacks prize. Stephen "tWitch" Boss, Degeneres' side-kick from her self-named serial was the announcer for Game of Games.

The Ellen Degeneres Testify (which also broadcasts on NBC-owned affiliates), her talk show of 19 years, is also catastrophe, and will air its final episodes later this year.

The side by side cancelation of both Ellen shows could be tied together. In 2020, reports of accusations that Degeneres enabled and fostered a toxic piece of work environment hit the printing. Executive producers were defendant of "rampant sexual harassment," equally reported by BuzzFeed News.

It was only after those reports that news broke that Degeneres was ending The Ellen DeGeneres Prove.

DeGeneres challenged anyone looking to link the news together, telling The Hollywood Reporter that "When you lot're a artist, you constantly need to exist challenged — and as great as this show is, and equally fun as information technology is, it's just not a challenge anymore." And while we're not here to say who's wrong and who'south right, nineteen years of doing the aforementioned job sounds pretty repetitive.
