Will Ellen DeGeneres leave her hit daytime talk show when her recently extended contract runs out in summer 2020?
In an interview Wednesday in The New York Times, DeGeneres, 60 — TV's second-highest-paid host, earning an estimated $87.5 million this year, according to Forbes magazine's most recent list — indicated it's a consideration.
"She gets mad when my brother tells me I can't stop," DeGeneres said, referring to her actress-wife, Portia de Rossi, and her brother, comedian Vance DeGeneres, who wants her to stay on for the positivity her show brings.
Responded de Rossi, 45, "I just think she's such a brilliant actress and stand-up that it doesn't have to be this talk show for her creativity,” adding, "I don't see the end of her show as her career ending."
