Hedda Muskat, who won two Daytime Emmy Awards working on the daytime talk show, spoke about its early days in a new interview.
DeGeneres attends the 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Jan. 5.
One incident involving executive producer Ed Glavin showed the tone of the workplace, Muskat said. Glavin is one of three show executives who have been accused of sexual misconduct. Muskat claimed Glavin started screaming at a staffer and “went off on them” in a meeting. She said she expected DeGeneres to do something, but instead the host giggled.
“She crossed her legs up on the chair and she said, ‘Well, I guess every production needs their dog,’” Muskat said. “And from then we knew. Ed was going to be the barking dog — her dog. You could just see everybody’s faces go stiff. We’re professionals; we’re adults. We don’t need a dog to get us to do our jobs.
“It’s not who we are and not who we strive to be, and not the mission Ellen has set for us,” the producers said.Andy Lassner, Jonathan Norman, Mary Connelly, Ed Glavin and Kevin Leman attend the 44th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards on April 30, 2017.
