Comedy Central Cans MacDonald’s, Onion’s Sports Shows

Two sports-themed shows on Comedy Central have been sidelined for good.

According to TheWrap.com, the cable network Monday canceled both sports-reporting spoofs, “Sports Show with Norm MacDonald” and “Onion Sports Dome.”

“Sports Show” debuted in April and finished its first season last week, and “Onion Sports Dome” launched in January and wrapped up in mid-March.

Former “Saturday Night Live” star MacDonald told EW.com that he was not officially notified about the cancellation. He said, in what may or may not be construed as in a joking manner, that he was thinking about launching an Internet campaign to save the show, “almost like they do with shows about witches and vampires and aliens from outer space.”

MacDonald’s show followed the network’s hit “Tosh.0″ in the Tuesday night lineup.
