The reigning queen of daytime TV might be calling it quits<\/a>. Ellen DeGeneres<\/a><\/strong> opened up about her future and that of her hit daytime talk show, the appropriately titled The Ellen DeGeneres Show<\/em>, in an interview with The New York Times<\/em><\/a> and revealed she’s thought about calling it quits.<\/p>\n

DeGeneres said her wife, Portia De Rossi<\/a><\/strong>, is in favor of her saying goodbye to the long-running chat fest, but her brother believes she should stay put as a beacon of positivity.<\/p>\n

“She gets mad when my brother tells me I can’t stop,” DeGeneres said of de Rossi. De Rossi, a veteran of such shows as Scandal<\/em>, Arrested Development<\/em> and Ally McBeal<\/em>, added, “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.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

If she does leave, DeGeneres expressed interest in doing another movie and playing somebody “unappealing.” De Rossi said, “I don’t see the end of her show as her career ending.”<\/p>\n

DeGeneres filmed her first standup special in 15 years for Netflix. Ellen DeGeneres: Relatable<\/em><\/a> is set to debut on Tuesday, Dec. 18 and feature the talk show host tackling her mega fame, among other topics. The comic and host wouldn’t be the first wildly popular host to say goodbye to their host. Here’s what happened to those that did.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Ricki Lake<\/strong>
For 11 seasons between 1993-2004, actress Lake had her own talk show. Ricki Lake<\/em>, sometimes just called Ricki<\/em>, was different from daytime shows helmed by DeGeneres, O’Donnell and Winfrey. Ricki was leaned into sensationalism and tabloid fodder more so than others, with topics aimed at young adults. The show featured celebrity guests at times, but also tackled everything from romantic relationships and LGBTQ issues to substance abuse and homelessness. Lake ended the series to spend more time with her family. Lake, who was famous for her work in Hairspray<\/em>, continued to act after her series ended. In 2008, she executive produced and was also featured in The Business of Being Born<\/em>, a documentary about childbirth.

Jenny Jones<\/strong>
The Jenny Jones Show<\/em> ran for 12 seasons from 1991-2003, producing 1,500 episodes along the way. The talk show, hosted by Jones started out tackling more serious subjects before transitioning to topics viewers were likely to see on Maury<\/em> and The Jerry Springer Show<\/em> (paternity tests, teens gone wild). After the end of her series, Jones went on to host her own food series, Jenny Can Cook<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While it seems many past talk show hosts didn’t stray from the format afterward, DeGeneres had an extensive acting (two sitcoms) and comedy career before becoming a daytime TV host. As de Rossi said, her career won’t end when she calls it quits.<\/p>\n
