Ellen DeGeneres isn’t sure she’ll keep doing her talk show for much longer.
The Ellen DeGeneres Show might be coming to an end as DeGeneres says she changing her mind about extending her contract.
In a recent interview with The New York Times, Ellen revealed that she thought twice before extending her contract through to 2020. The comedian got candid about consulting her brother and wife Portia De Rossi along the way.
“She gets mad when my brother tells me I can’t stop,” DeGeneres says of her wife, who said in return, “I just think she’s such a brilliant actress and standup that it doesn’t have to be this talk show for her creativity. There are other things she could tackle.” No matter what happens, de Rossi explained, “I don’t see the end of her show as her career ending.”
The 60-year-old daytime TV host added that she’s also not completely content with her image on the show, saying that she is more complex than it seems.
“The talk show is me, but I’m also playing a character of a talk-show host,” she said. “There’s a tiny, tiny bit of difference.” “She’s just a bit more complicated than she appears on the show,” de Rossi told the outlet. “There’s more range of emotion.”
In January Ellen opened up about what the next phase of her career would look like. She told the Today co-host Hoda Kotb, who was a guest on her talk show, “I don’t know [what I’m looking forward to],” she said. “That’s why I’m going to keep doing this until I figure that out.”
