It’s a long-standing rumor within the larger entertainment industry that certain TV talk shows had a list of banned guests that were prohibited from being invited back.<\/p>\n
While some programs like The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson had a more explicit round-up of guests that weren’t welcome on the show<\/a>, others like The Ellen DeGeneres<\/a> Show might had had a less well-known list of celebrities that the 68-year-old comedian didn’t want appearing on her show.<\/p>\n One notable example can apparently be found with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay<\/a>, who, according to a former Ellen staffer, was banned from appearing on the show for almost a decade after insulting the host’s cooking.<\/p>\n According to Cracked<\/a>, a backstage crew member who worked on The Ellen DeGeneres Show revealed that the series’ host had an allegedly terse reaction to Ramsay playfully bashing her culinary skills during a 2010 appearance on the show.<\/p>\n After calling DeGeneres’ cooking “rubbish,” the famed Hell’s Kitchen star was reportedly not invited back to appear on the show for nearly 10 years.<\/p>\n \u201c(Ramsay) gave her some quip. They were doing a food test together, and Ellen offered him a sample first,\u201d claimed the unnamed cameraman. \u201cAs soon as he bit in, he was like, \u2018This is rubbish. This is disgusting.”<\/p>\n \u201cShe didn\u2019t like the reaction,” the crew member continued. “It was like eight seasons he didn\u2019t come back for after.\u201d<\/p>\n The cameraman then went on share another example of how a seemingly innocent remark from a guest might result in a ban from DeGeneres, including an otherwise innocent moment when a warm-up act warned DeGeneres to be careful while performing a potentially dangerous stunt.<\/p>\n \u201c(One show) Ellen came out, and she was on a unicycle,\u201d\u00a0the cameraman said. \u201cThe anchor made a comment like ‘Don\u2019t fall!’ and Ellen said something along the lines of, \u2018No, I won\u2019t.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe told one of her EPs,\u00a0\u2018Don\u2019t let this guy on the show again,’\u201d he continued. \u201cYou were uninvited as a guest pretty easily.\u201d<\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade<\/a> on May 27, 2026, where it first appeared in the Entertainment<\/a> section.
