The Ellen DeGeneres Show has decided to suspend production until the end of March as a precautionary measure against the ongoing threat of the coronavirus.
Host Ellen DeGeneres took to her Twitter page on Friday night to announce the news.
“Hey there. Me again. So, after some more thought, we have decided to suspend production completely until March 30th. We just want to take every precaution to ensure that we do our part to keep everyone healthy. I love you guys, and can’t wait to come back. I’m already bored.” DeGeneres tweeted.
