Patrick Warburton Says Ellen DeGeneres Confronted Him After He Turned Down Guest Role on Her Sitcom


Patrick Warburton says Ellen DeGeneres confronted him after he turned down guest role on her sitcom, saying, "You don't expect the star of the show to walk up to you and call you out on your s--- and that's all it was."

On the latest episode SiriusXM's The Spotlight with Jessica Shaw, the Seinfeld alum, 59, said that he was ready to “move on” after making a few guest appearances on Ellen, which ran for five seasons from 1994 to 1998. In fact, Warburton never appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, which aired for 19 seasons before coming to an end in 2022 amid allegations of a hostile workplace. In a July 2020 BuzzFeed Newsreport, anonymous former and current staffers of DeGeneres' accused her of creating an unhealthy and toxic work environment on her show.
