"Ellen is quite simply the best," said Werner in the statement. "Day in and day out she and her team produce a unique and compelling hour of entertainment which is appointment television for legions of women."

Valari Staab, President, NBC Owned Television Stations, added, “‘Ellen’ is ‘the crown jewel’ of the NBC Owned Television Stations’ daytime lineup. In fact, ‘Ellen’ is the top choice for women 25-54 in her time period in seven of our markets, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, this season. We are proud and thrilled to extend our relationship with Ellen DeGeneres, all the great people working on her show and our friends at Warner Bros.”

I love the Ellen show! The highlight of losing my job is watching her show, she is so inspirational, beautiful, generous, and a wicked sense of humor! She makes me laugh so much. My sister has cancer and our goal is to go to her show when her chemo is done, I pray that we can do that as she loves Ellen as much as I do.
