Section

I think a criticsm section is a good idea. 1st one would be "My Crazy Dreams" is very similar to Oprah's "Wildest Dreams Come True". - Mike Beckham 04:20, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Good idea, but I don't know how to go about writing it...why don't you try? Astro 3236 10:46, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Done - Mike Beckham 12:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Well done, but dont we need to cite sources for this kind of thing? No offence though. Astro 3236 15:42, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Would be hard to find any, however it is visable similar. It is a hard one. - Mike Beckham 08:53, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

If no one can cite this criticism then it should be deleted. No matter how similar they are. --Shawn283 07:17, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Season 4

Season 4's comin, so how should we put it into the article? It premiers Sept 4th. Astro 3236 12:17, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I added some info while fixing parts of article. - Mike Beckham 12:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of paragraph

This paragraph keeps getting deleted: The program is the continuation of two popular daytime television talk shows: The Rosie O'Donnell Show and The Caroline Rhea Show. The program is distributed by Warner Brothers, the distributors of the above two shows, and although the producers and cast are different, the basic premise of the show is the same. The program mixes in comedy, celebrity guests, and human interest stories, taking components from late night television and traditional daytime talk shows.

The source was the September 17, 2003 Hartford Courant article, which someone is objecting to because they can't find a link. It is not my responsibility to provide Lexis-Nexis access for everyone to check cites. The pull quote that proves this point follows:

Like new neighbors ready to spend an hour each day chatting over coffee, a new crop of daytime hosts is, as a whole, an improvement over the gossipy, mudslinging old ones.

The tide is turning slowly against the confrontational trash and more toward the brighter, lighter shows, with an emphasis on entertainment figures. ``The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which started last week (on WVIT, Channel 30, at 4 p.m.) fills a slot originated by Rosie O'Donnell and occupied last season by Caroline Rhea. DeGeneres continues their traditions with a kinder approach to stars, close rapport with her audience and a penchant for toys.

She also has two great things going for her -- a ready, dry wit and a wealth of Hollywood friends. Her first guest last week would have been a coup for any talk show day or night -- Jennifer Aniston, the ``Friends star. The entire second show was devoted to Justin Timberlake, who says he was charmed by DeGeneres' videotape inviting him on.

As natural and nice as she is, there are areas she doesn't touch, possibly because she's still smarting from the overkill that greeted her public coming-out on her sitcom. Unlike most talk-show hosts, she is loath to talk about herself or her personal life. She has no stories about raising kids.

Please discuss this, in the talk page, before reverting any further. Thank you. Calwatch 19:46, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Ellen, Rosie, and Caroline are syndicated. The passage you stated (for WVIT) does not imply a succession, it only happens that WVIT has found the same network and time slot for the 3 shows. In New York, for example, Rosie O'Donnell and Caroline Rhea (which have direct succession: Rosie chose Caroline to be her successor) were both on WABC-TV. Rosie was on at 10:00 am, and I think Rhea's show was pushed back to the early morning to make way for The Wayne Brady Show at the 10:00 am slot. Ellen aired on WNBC at 10:00 am until this season, where it moved to 4:00 pm. Caroline and Rosie did not choose Ellen to be their successor. All you can say about Ellen and the two other shows are that they are similar. Tinlinkin 20:21, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Which I did. Will that be acceptable to you? Calwatch 20:36, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

It's OK now, I guess. One other comment: if you cite a non-Web source, you should include the page number for reference. Tinlinkin 06:49, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

If I could find that on Lexis-Nexis, I would. Some articles do, others don't. Calwatch 23:57, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Quotes

I really like Ellen DeGeneres—even way back from her stand-up days—but the quotes section doesn't fit in Wikipedia. They read like a GeoCities fansite. —SpyMagician 05:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I reverted without posting here; just saw that you did that. They are part of the running of the show, part of the comedy. Maybe it could be expanded into a paragraph and just mention a few quotes. Otherwise, you are correct. bmitchelf•T•F 05:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I just reverted your revert. They really need to be placed in some context. Especially since these 'quotes' are simply one-word sound effects. —SpyMagician 05:04, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Hillary Clinton

I read somewhere that Hillary Clinton will be coming on the show Sept. 4 and that Ellen will invite other presidential candidates. Donnabella 21:38, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Ellendegeneres.jpg

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Recurring themes

How about mentioning how they photoshop tony's head on a male model's body, also done with oprah, ellen, and ellen's mom's heads. I would but i don't know how. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.253.86.238 (talk) 23:18, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Airing time

Shouldn't the airing time to in the very first paragraph or some place easy to find? Come on geniuses, you wiki people have time to fight over everything and edit each other out but no time to figure THAT out? We have international time slot and channels all figured out for crying out loud. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.25.229 (talk) 12:34, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Rumors that James Corden will take over Ellen's Daytime show

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/james-corden-might-replace-ellen-degeneres-due-to-recent-claims/ar-BB17tKTj

Note there are reports that James Corden is named as a candidate to take over the Ellen Show as of August 2020. 2601:640:C600:3C20:CC6D:A69D:10C1:854 (talk) 00:56, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

You're missing a writer.

Kevin Leman II, the son of Kevin Leman, a child psychologist, is the head writer of the show. I think he should be included in this article. Curvebill (talk) 17:30, 11 February 2010 (UTC) Kevin Leman II was fired from the Ellen Show following serious allegations of sexual misconduct. I think if he is included in this article for his credit as former writer for the show, then he should also have mentioned his sexual misconduct allegations and subsequent firing as a result of those allegations.

Clarification

This show is actually called 'Ellen' and that is not even her first name. Her last name is correct...Degeneres. I propose that we discuss this topic to some extent. --#+3B 05:25, 8 October 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bill Riojas Mclemore (talk • contribs)

Show ratings reference not supporting the text

The reference for 4 million episode viewers is not supported by the citation which says "Ellen DeGeneres (2,950,000 average viewers) rose 10% to a new season high of 2.2." It may be that the 4 million claimed viewers is obsolete. Damotclese (talk) 02:30, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
