ABC plans to cancel Alec Baldwin's Match Game, plus Card Sharks, Celebrity Dating Game and The Hustler

Variety

Variety reports that Baldwin's Match Game, the Joel McHale's Card Sharks, Zooey Deschanel and Michael Bolton's The Celebrity Dating Game and Craig Ferguson's The Hustler are "unlikely" to be back this summer. "The fate of Match Game had been the source of speculation in the wake of Baldwin’s accidental shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the independent production Rust last fall," reports Variety's Michael Schneider. "But ABC’s decision to cancel Match Game is not related to that incident; Match Game hasn’t been in production since 2020, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic — and only aired two new episodes in 2021, which had been left over from the previous year."
