ELLEN DEGENERES

DAYTIME chat show host Ellen DeGeneres described her programme as a “second chance” and revealed she has signed up for another three years on air.

She said the self-titled programme brought her back from a career chasm five years after her Ellen sitcom was cancelled in 1998. “This show was my second chance… and it turns out it also helped other people go through a tough time. That’s why I’m going to keep doing this.” | Bang Showbiz
