To millions of viewers, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” has long been a TV oasis, a place for entertaining celebrity interviews, light jokes and plenty of dancing led by its cheerful host. In recent weeks, the facade has cracked. On Monday, Warner Bros. Television, the studio behind the syndicated daytime talk show, confirmed that it had parted ways with three of the show’s producers: Ed Glavin, an executive producer; Jonathan Norman, a co-executive producer; and Kevin Leman, the head writer. The moves came during an investigation of the show’s workplace, which is still being conducted. Warner Bros. said Monday that Ms. Connelly and Mr. Lassner would remain in their roles.
