Ellen DeGeneres Should Distribute Millions to Staff After Last TV Show

The presenter and comedian Ellen DeGeneres, 64, decided to distribute millions of dollars to her team, after the airing of the last episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show – which airs on May 26, as a thank you to the collaborators.

According to the New York Post website, the presenter guaranteed with Warner Bros. that all people on the team would be included in the division. However, the exact amount to be distributed to employees was not disclosed.

According to Deadline, most of the show’s staff are “veterans”. The publication claims that about 30% of the employees have worked on the show for more than a decade. In addition, collaborators received letters confirming that the producer intends to extend medical assistance after the end of the program.

This information was released after the presenter was accused of creating a toxic environment for her employees behind the scenes of the program, which began in 2003. The comedian even apologized publicly, and said she did not know about the problems reported by employees.

“I want to say I’m sorry for the people affected. I know I’m in a position of privilege and power, and I realized that this carries responsibility. I take responsibility for what happens on my show,” the presenter said at the time, in her opening monologue. , shown online before the broadcast of the program.

The presenter noted that the attraction begins “a new chapter, after necessary changes” carried out after an internal investigation carried out by the parent company, Warner Media. Last month, three producers were fired, including executive producer Ed Glavin.

Without giving details, the comedian said: “The truth is that I am the person you see on television”, denying accusations that, out of the scene, she would be very far from having the cheerful personality for which she is known.
