Why did ricki lake go off air?

Ricki Lake's talk show, which originally aired from 1993 to 2004, concluded primarily due to declining ratings and changes in television trends. After its cancellation, Lake returned with a new version of her show in 2012, but it was short-lived, ending in 2013 due to similar challenges in attracting a consistent audience. The evolving landscape of daytime television and competition from other programs also played a role in the show's discontinuation.
