IggyGate Gives Ellen DeGeneres Improved Ratings

The New York Post is reporting that Ellen DeGeneres‘ doggy dealings have been a positive thing for the talk queen after all. Ratings for The Ellen DeGeneres Show were up almost 10 percent in the overnight Nielsens for the two days following her emotional breakdown over her adopted mutt, Iggy.

Those are just the preliminary numbers – the actual number of viewers may be much, much higher.

Update: The Huffington Post interviews Mutts and Moms for even more insight into the story.
