For every Ellen DeGeneres, there’s a John McEnroe.
Gabrielle Carteris
Show: Gabrielle
West Beverly High's oldest high school student got her own tabloid talk show in 1995. It wasn't quite as salacious as its competitors, which might be why it got canceled in 1996.

Keenen Ivory Wayans
Show: The Keenen Ivory Wayans Show
This late-night talk show had to compete with the more popular Vibe. While it attracted many notable guests — and had its own band, Ladies of the Night! — it was canceled after one season in 1998.

Fran Drescher
Show: The Fran Drescher Tawk Show
People loved her as The Nanny, but they weren't as sold on her hosting abilities. In its 2010 trial run, Fran Drescher's show only lasted four episodes.

Chevy Chase
Show: The Chevy Chase Show
Long before his resurgence on Community in 2009, Chevy Chase had his very own talk show, despite the fact that he's incredibly unlikeable. The results were cringeworthy and lasted only five weeks in 1993.
