The statements can say what they are going to say, but this ensemble talk show host, who I have been writing about a lot in the past few weeks, was fired from the show. It was set in motion by the network judge who would only come back if the host was fired. Because the producers waited so long to fire the host, it is unclear whether the network judge will return or not. The producers were supposed to announce a new male host which has received a lot of pushback from the other members of the ensemble.
