Scandal and Whiskey Cavalier alum — and amateur furniture maker — Scott Foley has been tapped as co-host and lead judge on Ellen’s Next Great Designer, HBO Max’s furniture design competition series starring and executive produced by Ellen DeGeneres.
In Ellen’s Next Great Designer, design aficionado DeGeneres will give eight forward-thinking furniture designers the chance to push their creativity to the limit. DeGeneres will be on hand each episode to weigh in on each challenge and provide humorous, colorful commentary.
Appearing alongside her will be co-host Foley, who also will lead a three-person judging panel on the competition series.
This is a familiar area for Foley, who has described himself as “someone who likes to dabble in furniture building.”

Stand-up comedian, award-winning talk show host and humanitarian Ellen DeGeneres is set to be honored with the second Carol Burnett Award at the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards which will take place on January 5, 2020.
The Carol Burnett Award is presented to someone who has made outstanding contributions to the television medium on and/or off the screen. From being a stand-up to her groundbreaking self-titled sitcom and now her wildly successful syndicated daytime talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show to her advocacy, DeGeneres fulfills all those requirements. The Golden Globe accolade is the TV equivalent to its film counterpart, the Cecil B. DeMille Award. The award was first introduced last year at the 76th Annual Golden Globe Awards and was given to the one and only Carol Burnett, naturally.
“The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is delighted to honor Ellen DeGeneres with the Carol Burnett Award,” said Lorenzo Soria, President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Ellen DeGeneres has been tapped to receive the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s second-ever Carol Burnett Award. The honor will be handed out at the 76th Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Jan. 5.

“From her sitcoms, to stand-up, to becoming a household staple on daytime television, she is a pioneer who has captivated audiences for nearly 25 years with her undeniable charm and wit,” said HFPA president Lorenzo Soria. “In addition to her television success, she’s an advocate and philanthropist, lending her voice to those who don’t have one, and spreading kindness and joy through the power of her platform. We look forward to celebrating her achievements at this year’s ceremony.

HBO Max has signed daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres to a four-series deal.
The upcoming streaming service from WarnerMedia has given a straight-to-series pickup for three of DeGeneres’ shows, with a fourth one in development. The three series ordered already are: “Ellen’s Home Design Challenge,” “First Dates Hotel” and “Little Ellen.” The docu-series “Finding Einstein” is the one in development.
“Ellen is a singular talent, and a powerhouse, creative triple-threat that we are lucky to have now bringing her talents to bear on behalf of HBO Max,” said Kevin Reilly, Chief Content Officer, HBO Max and president, TNT, TBS, and truTV. “Ellen’s flair for home design and matchmaking will most certainly inspire and delight – but HBO Max is full service, so as not to leave the kids out she’s bringing them back to the hilarious misadventures of her childhood in an imaginative animated series.”

Ellen DeGeneres is substantially expanding her producing portfolio.
The multi-hyphenate, who signed a three-year extension to her daytime hosting gig earlier this year, is behind four new shows coming to HBO Max, three of which have been handed straight-to-series orders, and one of which has been put in development.
DeGeneres announced the pickups on her talk show and, in typical Ellen fashion, also surprised her audience with a two-year HBO Max subscription in celebration of the news.
