Ellen DeGeneres said she will end her long-running daytime talk show after a nearly two-decade run that established the comedian as an iconic figure in television.

Ms. DeGeneres told The Hollywood Reporter the next season, her 19th, will be her last. She said she is looking for a new challenge.

Known for a mix of celebrity interviews, lighthearted games and occasional dancing, Ms. DeGeneres's show has been a fixture in daytime TV.

It is produced by AT&T Inc.'s Warner Bros. studio and is syndicated to TV stations.
