ABC Cancels 4 Shows
'Card Sharks'
After being off the air as a regular game show since 2001, Card Sharks returned to ABC in 2019 with host Joel McHale. Unfortunately, its run is ending after two seasons. This run of Card Sharks totaled 21 episodes.

Despite a charming hosting duo in Zooey Deschanel and Michael Bolton, Celebrity Dating Game is done after only one season. The show was based on the classic game show The Dating Game.
prevnext'The Hustler'
Craig Ferguson's run as a game show host is done. ABC canceled The Hustler (no relation to the classic Paul Newman movie) after a two-season run.
prevnext'Match Game'
The final of the four cancellations is the most headline-worthy. ABC's reboot of Match Game is done after an impressive five-season run. While this news comes after host Alec Baldwin accidentally shot and killed Halyna Hutchins during the filming of the movie Rust, Variety reports this cancellation had been decided before the incident.

It's not all bad news for the ABC game show lineup, though. Three fan favorites — Celebrity Family Feud, The $100,000 Pyramid and Press Your Luck — are set for renewals.
