NEW YORK - Ellen DeGeneres is calling time on her long-running talk show.
The daytime host, who has seen a ratings hit after allegations of running a toxic workplace, has decided that her upcoming season will be the last.
"The Ellen DeGeneres Show'' started airing in 2003 and has a mix of dancing, games and giveaways along with A-list celebrities.
But the host, who built her brand on the motto "Be Kind,'' opened season 18 in September with a lengthy apology.
Three of the show's producers exited over the summer amid allegations of a dysfunctional workplace that harbored misbehavior, including sexual misconduct and racially insensitive remarks.
