Ellen's Idol Effect!!

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!!
