Ellen DeGeneres’ daytime talk show has dropped dramatically in viewership following the star's toxic workplace scandal that dominated headlines last year. Citing Nielsen ratings, the New York Times reports that "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" has lost over 1 million viewers over the course of the show’s 18th season. The program’s latest season kicked off in September 2020 with an apology from the comedian about claims of a toxic workplace that marred the show over the summer.
