She Was Fired! The Truth Behind Carnie's Newlywed Game Departure

She got the axe!

The National Enquirer is reporting that Carnie Wilson was fired from her hosting gig at The Newlywed Game because she wasn’t funny enough!
A source reveals:

“Carnie wasn’t cracking up the audience the way the producers hoped. The contestants are screened for their laugh potential, and it’s the host’s job to keep everyone in stitches. Carnie was missing the mark.”

So who is the Game Show Network eying as her replacement?
The View‘s Sherri Shepherd and comedian Jeff Foxworthy!
Better luck next time, Carnie!
