The ratings are in for Ellen DeGeneres‘s premiere week — and they’re not good.
The talk show saw a nearly 40 percent drop from last year, suggesting her toxic workplace scandal has lost the comedian hundreds of thousands of fans.
According to Nielsen, the show averaged 1.66 million viewers for the week of September 21st, when she finally spoke about the controversy on air, down from 2.67 million for the opening week of September 9th, 2019.

Chris Evans is showing more skin on Instagram lately.  In case you’ve forgotten, a few weeks ago, Chris accidentally posted a pic of his junk in an Instagram story.
This time Captain America went shirtless — intentionally — in a video of himself doing a backflip into his pool. The actor wrote, “Last swim before the pool hibernates … (It was freezing!). I wonder what it’s like to be tan.”
Fans didn’t seem to care about the backflip. Their attention was on his tattoos.
One person tweeted, “Okay but I didn’t know Chris Evans had so many tattoos?”

Suzanne Somers is recovering after falling down the stairs at her home.
The 73-year-old actress, who also recently fractured her hip, underwent successful neck surgery, Page Six reports.
On Instagram, Suzanne explains, “I had an intense amount of pain after the fall that was not resolving – even after having tequila! After several scans, it was determined I had 2 vertebrae out of place which was causing pressure on nerves and creating that tremendous pain.”
The Three’s Company star said she’s doing well but she’ll need more time “to recover before I can join you again at the bar for our virtual cocktail parties.”
Somers and her husband, Alan Hamel, regularly have Facebook Live gatherings at their home bar, “Big Al’s.”
