Ellen Elevates
Ellen DeGeneres's American Idol gig has boosted ratings for her talk show considerably. The Ellen DeGeneres Show's numbers have vaulted from a 2.4 to a 2.9 in the Nielsens, with a 12% increase in week-to-week ratings. Oprah still dominates the daytime scape with a 5.1, but her capacity for wearing little vests and grapevining through the audience remains dismal at a 0.7 (out of 10). [THR]
