Salon  

Ellen DeGeneres has tested positive for COVID-19, and production on her talk show will be paused until January, Variety has confirmed. Season 18 of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" premiered on Sept. 21 after months of controversy involving an internal investigation after allegations of racism, sexual misconduct and other workplace problems. During the pandemic shutdown in the spring, "Ellen Show" staffers raised complaints about poor communication, pay reductions and mistreatment. In an internal memo to staff DeGeneres apologized, writing "On day one of our show, I told everyone in our first meeting that 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' would be a place of happiness — no one would ever raise their voice, and everyone would be treated with respect.
