(CNN) It's water under the bridge, but there's a reason why Rosie O'Donnell never appeared on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show. During a recent appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," Cohen mentioned how much he loved the "Lebanese" moment O'Donnell had with DeGeneres on the former's talk show. Cohen was referencing DeGeneres' 1996 appearance on O'Donnell's daytime talk show in which the two playfully danced around speculation about DeGeneres being gay. Cohen then asked O'Donnell why she had never appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" that ended its run in May after 19 seasons. "After my show went off the air, and her's was coming on the air, Larry King was on with Ellen and he said, 'Whatever happened to Rosie O'Donnell?

DeGeneres i-a spus lui THR că show-ul nu o mai provoacă creativ și că a luat decizia înainte de a semna o prelungire a contractului pe trei sezoane în 2018. Acesta va fi ultimul meu sezon și mi-au să semneze încă patru ani și am spus că voi semna poate pentru unul”, a spus DeGeneres. A început să găzduiască talk-show-ul în 2003 după anularea celui de-al doilea sitcom, The Ellen Show, în 2002. Primul ei sitcom, Ellen, a rulat pe ABC din 1994-98. „The Ellen DeGeneres Show” a debutat în 2003 şi a avut 19 ediții, câștigând peste 60 de trofee Emmy.
