It Is Not Just Tater Who Is Suffering -- Ellen Degeneres has Lost 1 Million Viewers Since Her Scandal
RedState ^ | March 23, 2021 | Brad Slager

...Since that debut in mid-September, the show has experienced a loss of audience to the tune of over 1 million viewers. This amounts to a heavy drop of over -40%, more so than all other daytime programs. She has perennially been at, or near the top of the daytime ratings, but this is a significant plunge. Her last year saw Ellen at 2.6 million viewers, challenging Live With Kelly and Ryan (2.7 million) and Dr. Phil (2.5 million).

This is a significant hit, and it leads to trouble in a number of areas. As far as a loss in ad revenue this represents over a $25 million loss in business. The hit has also been experienced in the host’s primetime game show, Ellen’s Game Of Games, which saw a loss of nearly one-third of its audience. Now factor in these losses were accrued during a pandemic when a larger audience has been sequestered at home, and the problem is seen as even worse.

This reveals there is the usual distaste seen when it is exposed that an internal scandal was squelched, to some degree. For some reason, many companies, and other operations, face a sex scandal and have the reaction to attempt to manage the fallout, rather than addressing the problem. It is similar in something we recently saw with the Time’s Up organization having its own sexual harassment issues, which it bizarrely elected to downplay and avoid. Since Ellen herself never faced down the problem it instead grew, becoming an unmanageable issue that once it became revealed was viewed as an overwhelming unacceptable disaster...

Okay, I saw plenty of stuff about Ellen. I avoid her shows religiously - Game of Games just seems like it’s designed to humiliate the contestants, and because of that I can’t watch it.

Didn’t see anything in the article about that guy I quote in my tagline, though.

The best way I can describe Ellen, is to say that she’s not very likeable. I must not be the only one, given that her ratings have tumbled so drastically.

Who is Tater? I doubt that Dr. Pol’s clinic mascot kitty is suffering in ANY way shape or form.

It’s really obvious that Ellen is incredibly fake and not a nice person. The games she puts people through all seem designed to humiliate or hurt the contestants. And she does that weird thing Rosie O’Donnell did where she pretends to drool over attractive men for the sake of her female audience. You’re a lesbian, fool, how obviously phony can you be? She’s a sadist who somehow managed to convince people she was something else. And it worked for years!

Newton Minnow stated 60 years ago that television was a “ vast wasteland “.

Even he would be shocked at how dramatically it has devolved.
Constant WOKE commercials, and almost complete content inanity.

Remember when folks actually read books ?

A search brings up nothing obvious. Can anyone shed some light on the Tater mentioned in the headline?

Who is Tater? What is Game of Games? DeGenerate doesn’t interest me in the slightest.

Wayne Newton revealed that Johnny Carson was a horrible person. Ellen was revealed as a horrible person. Dave Letterman is obviously a horrible person, as are all of the late night hosts.

I guess you have to have a really big ego to get those jobs. And since being on those shows is a gateway to a better career, no one has the guts to cross them, so they can become bigger and bigger a__ho__s without ever having to apologize.
