Three executive producers are out at "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" after accusations of sexual misconduct and fostering a poor work environment. It appears that Mary Connelly, Andy Lassner and Derek Westervelt will remain as producers alongside Ellen DeGeneres. The outlet reports that DeGeneres told the staff that the allegations she had read were “heartbreaking" and was emotional and apologetic while speaking. Sources also told Variety that Leman and Glavin will no longer serve as executive producers on DeGeneres' "Ellen's Game of Games" and other shows produced by the comedian. Additionally, staffers were reportedly told that the show's season 18 debut has been pushed back a week to Sept. 14.
