Telepictures confirmed to USA Today that production on Ellen has been paused until at least January.
DeGeneres’ show is currently featuring its annual “12 Days of Giveaway” Christmas special.
Back in October, the show made headlines after producers invited a limited number of in-studio audience members to the show amid the ongoing pandemic. According to USA Today, there were 40 live audience members, as well as 70 virtual audience members displayed on individual screens.
Season 18 of The Ellen DeGeneres Show premiered in September following allegations of a toxic workplace. The show has been steadily climbing in ratings since news of the scandal broke.
