Commentary: Surprised a 'nice' talk show like 'Ellen' is toxic? TV's been warning you for years

After a wave of complaints from those working on the comedian’s long running show, three top producers depart.

When the industry looks at itself, it is often askance. Whether the setting is the stage, a movie studio or a TV network, the characters are well known to us: meddling producers, tyrannical directors, impossible stars, bitter and cynical writers who go on to write with cynical bitterness of their experiences. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote 17 short stories about hack screenwriter Pat Hobby even as he was himself trying to make a go of screenwriting.

“The Bad and the Beautiful,” “Barton Fink,” “Swimming With Sharks” and “The Player” have all taken aim at Hollywood; “Network” took a scalpel to television news. Elia Kazan’s 1957 film— with a pre-Mayberry Andy Griffith as a vagabond who becomes an influential national TV personality, his folksy charm masking utter disdain for his audience — has been often mentioned as a metaphor for the Trump era.

Television has also taken its business as a subject. Around the turn of the century, there were Darren Star’s “Grosse Pointe,” a wicked take on the production of his own “Beverly Hills, 90210,” and Fox’s acid “Action,” with Jay Mohr as a studio head recovering from a catastrophic flop and Illeana Douglas as the child star-turned-prostitute he makes his head of production.

Ellen go home

not surprised at ALL. 2020 is exposing Powerful people who thought they were untouchable. 'Nice' people don't email restaur's complaining that their server had chipped nail polish. Please cancel TheEllenShow . I will not support any brands who continue to do business there. 1/2

all you need to do is watch TheEllenShow snarky & passive/aggressive interviews to know she’s a mean vindictive person- it’s obvious no surprise about “don’t make eye contact w Ellen” by her “team” The main issue is the hypocrisy of the curated public persona EllenDeGeneres

Every show in Hollywood is the exact same way including the animated cartoons.

She’s finished I’m betting.

Look beyond the show.

Bitch is going down hard.
