In July, former and current employees of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' came forward alleging that the show is riddled with favoritism, microaggressions and racism. As a result, many have called for DeGeneres to be replaced as host of the daytime talk show slot. According to NBC insiders, "James Corden was being eyed for Ellen's job in the long term before any of this came to light."
"This issue has fast tracked everything and made everyone look at the future today," NBC Insider, via 'The Sun'. "Replacing Ellen was always going to be a tough challenge, but he is a natural fit and easy transition. James would freshen up daytime and with a free hand would be allowed to build a new afternoon era." DeGeneres released a statement addressing the allegations saying, "As we’ve grown exponentially, I’ve not been able to stay on top of everything and relied on others to do their jobs as they knew I’d want them done. Clearly some didn’t. That will now change and I’m committed to ensuring this does not happen again."
