However, Wendy wasn’t quite so convinced by Ellen’s remarks on the “Today” show, and once the interview clip had finished, Williams commented, “I’m not sure that all the guests are happy. I was a guest. I wasn’t happy” (via The Daily Mail).
Reacting to Ellen’s decision to quit the show, Wendy continued, “I don’t know whether she told her current staff, though. She seems like the type of person that would come out onstage and announce it to everybody and people are looking at the TV as she’s saying it like: ‘Wai-wha-wait, what just happened?’” Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Ellen publicly commented on her decision to walk away from “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” During the interview, she confirmed the show’s 19th season will be the last, adding that she had informed her staff of her decision on May 11, which she claims was a long-time coming. “When you’re a creative person, you constantly need to be challenged — and as great as this show is, and as fun as it is, it’s just not a challenge anymore,” DeGeneres explained.
