Portia de Rossi Wants Ellen DeGeneres to Quit Daytime TV
Ellen DeGeneres is considering quitting her NBC daytime talker, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” and branching out because her wife, Portia de Rossi, thinks the comedian has “other things she could tackle.”“I just think she’s such a brilliant actress and standup that it doesn’t have to be this talk show for her creativity,” de Rossi said in a DeGeneres-centric interview with the New York Times published Wednesday, ahead of the release of her wife’s first standup special in 15 years.De Rossi says the Netflix comedy event, titled “Relatable” — marketed as a tongue-in-cheek takedown of the comedian’s approachable image — shows DeGeneres is “just a bit more complicated than she appears on the show,” adding, “There’s more range of emotion.”
