An insider for PageSix said they are really trying to get their own talk show and have asked Ellen‘s producers many times.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show ended on May 26, 2022, after 19 seasons.

They also claim that Amy and TJ “welcome ongoing coverage of thier relationship.

“It’s easier for them to pitch a show if they stay in the news, and they think they’re rock stars. They’re selling their chemistry,” the insider told the outlet.

A source also told PageSix that the couple “fed into” how perfect the network thought their relationship was on air.

“They absolutely believe that their chemistry would sell, because it sold at ABC,” the insider said.

However, they added that at GMA3 they sold “brother/sister chemistry” and now they are “selling sex.”

If the deal comes through, that means the ousted hosts would be moving from ABC to NBC.

TO THE NEXT

Despite pitching some of the most sought out producers in the business, Amy and TJ want to rival another popular TV couple.

With Ryan Seacrest leaving Live next month, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are set to be Daytime TV’s “it couple,” and Amy and TJ want to compete against them.

Earlier this month, the DailyMail revealed pitched an “up-close and personal” talk show to CBS, NBC, and CNN.

According to the outlet, the couple is “aggressively” pitching a new program that will show off not only their on-air talent but also their “chemistry.”

One TV executive told the DailyMail: “Think about it. You have a show with two attractive hosts that does pretty well and then boom – the sexy romantic drama of the decade unfolds with your two stars.

“Who wouldn’t want to watch them interact every day – see those sparks fly?”

MUST-SEE TV

A media expert claimed that Amy and TJ’s future TV show will be absolute “ratings gold”– but there will be challenges.

Human resources pro Jason Greer exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Amy and TJ’s future series will pull in viewers with hot topics and also their red-hot chemistry.

The couple would need tight guidance from an HR professional, Jason said of the still legally married former co-hosts’ hopes to land a new program as a duo.

“I would have a lot of training with both Amy and TJ about respectful behavior in the workplace.

“Even though we’re talking about chemistry, there are millions of dollars that have been put into your show, and into the salaries of the people who support your show.

“So it’s really important that we don’t make them feel uncomfortable.”

“We have to give a code of conduct not only for the hosts but most importantly, to also protect the staff.”

“Often it comes down to: What are we going to do to make sure that we have a plan in case everything breaks down between the two in terms of their relationship.”

Jason added that the allure of an Amy and TJ ratings boom for a network could entice execs to navigate the HR hurdles.

“For as many political and legal landmines exist in this situation, it’s still very doable.

“You would need to build a robust HR system around it with constant check-ins, where you have to rigidly keep your finger on the pulse and know what employees are feeling and the dynamics backstage.

“If you can do that, you can make it work.”

Jason continued: “They would need a strong EAP or employee assistance program.

“Not the typical EAP – where it’s a number you call and you may or may not get someone.”

“You want a person or a team of people who are backstage at least two or three times a week.

“It’s going to be an added cost, but if you are a network, you want to make sure your multimillion-dollar investment is properly cared for.”

Jason concluded: “They would be ratings gold- that’s the alluring part about it all. I’m going to watch!”
