Best talk show hosts of all time

It seems as though our television screens are filled with talk shows, so I sat down and chose thirteen talk show hosts to rank from worst to best.

 13. Ellen DeGeneres

Initially, Ellen felt like a difficult host to rank.

She's a nostalgic presence and always reminds me of watching her when I was home sick from school in 2011, but she also kind of sucks. This is a controversial statement to make, I know – just about everyone loves Ellen – but why does it seem like she hates every person she interviews?

Ellen dishes out the sort of insults that you could get away with if you pass them off as a joke, but she doesn’t, and it just makes for awkward viewing.

There’s also her friendship with George Bush that has rubbed many people the wrong way.

Sure, you don’t have to have the same political views as your friends, but when you’re a liberal lesbian icon hanging out with a conservative politician who opposed same-sex marriage, you’re going to face some backlash.

Check out Ellen’s recent interview with Dakota Johnson if you want to feel uncomfortable.

12.
