Canada’s Queen of Daytime, Marilyn Denis, is ending her talk show after 13 seasons.
On Thursday morning, Denis announced live on CTV’s The Marilyn Denis Show that the daytime series will conclude at the end of the current season.
“After 13 wonderful seasons, I have decided that this is the last season of this show. And I want to be clear I’m not retiring and I’m very, very healthy,” she said live Thursday morning on The Marilyn Denis Show.
“Although I have made the decision, and I have made the decision to step away from this show, I will continue doing the morning show on CHUM 104.5…and I will continue with my podcast,” she added.
Starting on May 8, the series will celebrate the end of an era with special guests, audience surprises and highlights from the 2,000-plus shows it has aired.
A final farewell episode is scheduled for June 9 at 10 a.m. ET on CTV.
The veteran broadcaster has a 34-year career in daytime television and will be turning 65 years old this year. She says she is leaving the show to spend more time with her family.
“But life is really, really good and I look forward to spending more time with my family, especially that beautiful granddaughter, Everly,” she said.
Denis will remain as co-host on Marilyn Denis and Jamar weekday mornings on CHUM 104.5 and as host of MARILYN DENIS DOES A PODCAST.
CTV said it will announce its new daytime programming lineup, including a new series, later this year.
