Ellen Degeneres redeemed herself in the eyes of striking writers in New York City. The talk show host was preparing to “break the line” by recording her show in New York City, the home of the Writers Guild of America-–East. Upon hearing the news that DeGeneres has reconsidered, WGA-East President Michael Windish issued a statement saying members are delighted that she will not be taping and asking that she "not cross the Guild picket lines at the NBC Studios in Burbank, where her show usually is produced."
