“The Ellen DeGeneres Show” will be on the air until at least 2020, NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations announced Monday.
The popular daytime talk show which features celebrity guests, musical performances, sketches and lots of dancing was renewed through summer 2020 (the 2019-20 television season) in a deal with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution. It has been on the air since 2003.
The series will continue to air on 10 of the NBC-owned stations, which include WNBC (New York), KNBC (Los Angeles) and KNTV (San Francisco Bay Area).
“Day in and day out Ellen [DeGeneres] delivers the best show on television,” Ken Werner, President, Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution, said.
“Ellen and her team produce a completely unique and exciting hour, which is appointment television for viewers everywhere. We are thrilled to continue our 13-year partnership with the NBC Stations which delivers to their communities the entertainment and inspiration of ‘Ellen.’”
“The Ellen DeGeneres Show” is produced by A Very Good Production and WAD Productions, Inc. in association with Telepictures. It is distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution, while DeGeneres, Mary Connelly, Ed Glavin, Andy Lassner and Kevin Leman serve as executive producers.
