When people found out that charges had been made against the show, they responded with a combination of shock, anger, and perplexity. The allegations were published online.

Twitter was the source of the great bulk of the conversation that surrounded Ellen and her show.

Talk show veteran Jay Leno was one of her most vociferous backers, but other celebrities were less thrilled about her candidacy. Andy Richter, who is also a frequent on late-night shows, is a sidekick for Conan O’Brien and did not support Leno in this dispute.
