ELLEN'S SHAME OF SHAMES!

Nosedives after loss of game show

PANICKED Ellen DeGeneres is freaking out about her waning TV career after "Game of Games" — the scandal-scarred star's prime-time safety net was axed after just four seasons, insiders tell The National ENQUIRER.

"Ellen wanted this game show to go on for another 20 years. She was open about building it up as the next 'Jeopardy!' – exploring syndicated versions and versions for other countries," tattles an insider.

"Having it pulled away from her is a huge kick in the teeth and a cold reminder the days of Ellen commanding hours and hours of TV programming time each week appear to be coming to an end — and rather abruptly."

Embattled Ellen — dubbed the "queen of mean" by behind-the-scenes critics has already seen her nearly 20-year reign of daytime dominance slip through her fingers!
