  • Talk Show

    Despite competition in her time slot, The Ellen DeGeneres Show premiered with strong ratings and was nominated for 11 Daytime Emmys in its first season.

    DeGeneres dances as a primary feature on the show, often during commercial breaks. The show's style sometimes resembles a late night comedy show rather than a daytime talk show. For example, DeGeneres hosted the show from a hospital bed in May 2007 because of a back injury and asked her guests to sit in hospital beds as well during the interviews.
