Hollywood’s MOST HATED TV STARS

Turn the channel on these stomachturning jerks!

SHOWBIZ is a hotbed of hypocrites, bullies, backstabbers, divas and simpering suck-ups — but the worst always manage to float to the top! In a shocking special report, The National ENQUIRER exposes the A-listers industry insiders love to loathe — The Most Hated Stars on TV — and why these chumps deserve their place in the Hall of Shame.

PAT SAJAK

Behind the scenes — and on the air — “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat, 75, has a well-earned reputation as a total jerk! An insider snitches the game show veteran is “miserable” and constantly hurts the feelings of contestants and colleagues — including longtime co-host Vanna White — with passiveaggressive attacks disguised as biting “jokes!”

Misfortunate coworkers think Sajak’s “a pompous jerk and wish he’d either get with the program — or get lost,” spills the spy.

But Pat’s in no mood to quit the show that feeds him $15 million a year, says the source, who notes, “It’s no wonder no one on the show mentioned his

40th anniversary as host. He’s not a very well-liked guy.”

ELLEN DeGENERES

Once adored Ellen, 64, is wrapping up the 19th and final season of her daytime talk show, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” amid plummeting ratings and a 2020 avalanche of accusations she lorded over a toxic work environment!

“Ellen’s show went from landmark to landmine. She’s still bitter over it,” spills an insider, who confides whiny Ellen still keeps claiming she’s a victim of unwarranted accusations!

However, the insider squeals, “People around her have long thought of her as a two-faced manipulator who kisses up to her celebrity friends on the show and treats the workers behind the scenes like dirt. She won’t be missed.”

DR. PHIL McGRAW

“Dr. Phil” staffers have accused the smug 71-year-old TV shrink of running a mentally unhealthy workplace that’s left them traumatized!

But that’s not Dr. Phil’s only controversy. McGraw — who holds a doctorate in psychology but hasn’t had a license to practice since 2006 — was blasted for pooh-poohing social distancing during the pandemic and accused of exploiting unstable Shelley Duvall for ratings five years ago when he put “The Shining” actress on the air! “A lot of people despise him and say he manipulated and mistreated guests who were already in a fragile state of mind when they got to the show,” dishes an insider.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG

Loudmouth Whoopi, 66, horrified TV viewers by insisting the Nazis’ killing of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust was “not about race,” earning herself a twoweek suspension from “The View.”

The Oscar-winning “Ghost” actress later apologized. But sources claim since ratings dipped for the daytime show during her absence in February, the potstirring funnylady now feels invincible! “She’s been strutting around like a peacock because she knows she’s unfireable at this point,” whispers an insider.

“Her co-hosts are fed up with her bossy ways and would like to see her gone — though they wouldn’t dare say it to her face.”

TUCKER CARLSON

FOX firebrand Tucker, 52, seems to thrive on ratings-grabbing controversy. He’s outrageously claimed immigrants make the country “poorer and dirtier,” called a female journalist “vapid,” accused a congressman of being mentally ill — and shilled for Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin! “Tucker doesn’t care if people hate him,” tattles an insider. “He has no trouble firing verbal rockets at people whether they be his guests, his producers or the lowliest production assistant.” According to the spy, the “vain”

“Tucker Carlson Tonight” host “thinks he’s doing the network a favor and takes credit for the high ratings. Of course, if ratings slip a little, it’s someone else’s fault.”

ELLEN POMPEO

“Grey’s Anatomy” diva Ellen, 52, rakes in more than $20 million a year playing

Dr. Meredith Grey on the ABC drama. But critics charge the actress, who’s starred on the show since 2005, has fallen out of favor with hard-working Americans after bellyaching about her job being difficult! An insider also squeals, “Ellen’s not very well liked on the set. She makes more money than anybody on the show, yet she complains it’s old and stale and should end. People think she’s being selfish to even suggest such a thing when so many count on that paycheck. She’s seen as a spoiled brat.”

CHRIS CUOMO

CNN’s former prime-time poster boy Chris, 51, got axed from his $6 million a year gig in late 2021 after secretly digging up dirt on women who’d accused his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, of sexual harassment.

The two-faced newsman — who copped to grabbing the butt of former ABC producer Shelley Ross when they were colleagues — is also blamed for blowing the whistle on CNN president Jeff Zucker’s fling with network marketing officer Allison Gollust, leading to their resignations. Zucker just walked off with an estimated $10 million settlement from CNN. Some network staffers cheered when holierthan-thou Cuomo was canned, says an insider who confides, “The feeling among many is that Chris is just as sleazy as his big brother.”
