“Ellen has been the captain of this ship all these years, and she’s about to start producing, so she needed to make room in her schedule for that,” Kevin shared with E!’s Daily Pop.
He added, “The fact that she’s not leaving the show and is just gonna scale it back a bit—what I think is beautiful about it is that it shows her love for the show still.”
