Ellen's Idol Effect!!

Filed under: TV News > Reality Television > American Idol > Oprah Winfrey > Ellen DeGeneres

Girlfriend knew EXACTLY what she was doing getting that gig on American Idol!

Within just the first week of judging the singing competition, Ellen DeGeneres's daytime talk show hit an all-time series high in Nielson ratings, gaining 12% to 2.9 and 29% higher than last year at this time!

Unbelievable!!

Just wait until Oprah is gone, Ellen is on the fast track to claiming the throne all for herself!!

Oh it's like what happened with Jon and Kate, people tuned into the divorce show to see it, then they all stopped watching.

If there was anyone that had a chance to be a little bit like Oprah it was Tyra because her show is not only funny but she talks about real things and serious issues like Oprah . Ellens show is funny but all she does is make some jokes dance,interview celebrities,give the audience members some gifts ,play games with the audience members,thats about it.Its not a serious show like Oprah, but i love Ellens show and i always watch her show

Re: rico35 – "Dumbing down America?" Give me a break! Life is so full of daily stress and turmoil, watching Ellen is a great way to de-stress. She just wants to entertain people. And I love her on Idol

She kinda sucks on idol. She looks lost compared to the other judges.

Re: hank schmank – Well, it is her first year. She's not going to be perfect, but she certainly is likable.

Ellen is a hopeless judge, completely lost with her comments. I hope they get rid of her soon.
