LOS ANGELES (AP) --
"The Meredith Vieira Show" is ending after two seasons.
In a statement Monday, Vieira said she was sorry to see her daytime talk show wrap and thanked her viewers.
Vieira's syndicated program failed to get ratings traction in the competitive daytime arena ruled by shows including "Dr. Phil," ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and "Live With Kelly and Michael."
"The Meredith Vieira Show," distributed by NBC Universal Domestic Television Group, will air through May.
Vieira won't be idle after that: She will head to Rio de Janeiro to help cover the Summer Olympics, airing on NBC in August.

Jailed and disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein alleges in a new lawsuit that his brother, Bob Weinstein, and other executives at their now-defunct film company duped him into guaranteeing a $45 million loan in 2016, but diverted funds for their own personal use while setting the stage for his downfall.
Harvey Weinstein, 72, filed the claims Thursday in a long-running civil case in New York City involving a lender accusing him of defaulting on the loan. He is currently detained while awaiting a retrial on sex crimes charges in New York.
"Harvey Weinstein was deceived by those closest to him, and secured a $45 million dollar loan under the pretense of saving The Weinstein Company," Imran Ansari, Harvey Weinstein's lawyer, said in a statement. "While Harvey personally guaranteed the loan, others within The Weinstein Company enriched themselves and strategically undermined him, leaving him 'holding the bag' of debt while 'lining their pockets' when the company was in crisis."
Ansari alleged Bob Weinstein and others at The Weinstein Co. were in on a plot to position Harvey Weinstein for a downfall in an attempt to seize control of the company, which went bankrupt in 2018 as the sexual misconduct scandal surrounding Harvey Weinstein exploded.
An attorney for Bob Weinstein, Brian Kohn, replied with a brief statement Friday saying, "Harvey's allegations are entirely without merit," in an email to The Associated Press.
Former Weinstein Co. chief operating officer David Glasser, now chief executive of 101 Studios, known for its production of Paramount's popular series "Yellowstone," is also named in Harvey Weinstein's lawsuit. He did not immediately return a phone message left at his office Friday.
