Ant & Dec have reportedly been dropped from 'Saturday Night Takeaway' in the US.
The TV duo are huge stars in the UK, but bosses at a number of networks in the States - who are keen to adapt their series for a new audience - don't consider them viable hosts.
An insider told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "There is a lot of buzz about 'Saturday Night Takeaway'. Talent and reality shows are currently dominating prime time TV in America and people are looking for new ideas.
"Quizzes and game shows were a dying breed but many networks feel there is an opportunity for some different style to take off. 'SNT' could be just that.
"But Ant & Dec just aren't famous enough in the US to host it."
It is said fellow Brit and former 'SMTV Live' host Cat Deeley is in the running to replace them for the new version of their popular show.
The source added: "The presenter will be key to the show's success, so networks understandably don't want to risk two unknown faces from the UK, especially as US audiences can't understand what they are saying.
"Cat, however, is a good choice and is loved by the team behind 'SNT.' "

Simon Cowell and 'The X Factor' are making contestants sign away personal rights on all forms of media "throughout the universe".
The media mogul's popular reality show has reportedly issued a contract to hopefuls for the next series, which includes them allowing the brand to use their likeness on platforms that haven't even been invented yet.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "This is extreme by anyone's standards. Is it necessary to cover all media - including forms that don't exist - in the universe?
"Are they likely to get requests from outside Earth?"
According to reports, the audition release form requires the contestants to allow their audition tape to be "exploited ... throughout the universe ... in all media whether now known or hereafter invented".
Meanwhile, they must relinquish all copyright, while another clause relates to limiting gossip about certain stars.
As well as head judge Simon, hopefuls will also be bound by a gagging clause to stop them talking about his co-stars Cheryl Cole, Mel B or Louis Walsh.
The clause also protects hosts Dermot O'Leary and Sarah Jane Crawford, Syco and ITV.

Gemma Merna says her "tight" 'Hollyoaks' outfits force her to stay in shape.
The 29-year-old actress says her alter-ego Carmel McQueen's love of skin-tight dresses ensures she doesn't miss gym appointments and maintains a healthy diet.
She said: "My go-to diet is the LBD Plan. It's perfect if you have an event you want to be in shape for - or in my case, playing Carmel, who wears the tightest outfits ever!"
Gemma's diet usually consists of healthy protein and vegetables, but she can't resist the odd Indian curry as a treat.
She explained: "[I have] a balanced lunch and dinner. I'll have chicken with vegetables and brown rice, so you get all your meat, vegetables and carbohydrates.
"I'll have a takeaway night when I want to treat myself to an Indian and a chocolate bar once or twice a week."
The blonde beauty also credits working out early in the morning with helping her prepare for a long day of filming.
Gemma told Now magazine: "I do wake up and think, 'Oh, I don't want to go!' But working out in the morning gives me so much energy throughout the day, so it's worth it."

Sophie Thompson has won 'Celebrity MasterChef'.
The 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' actress triumphed in the BBC cooking competition, and admitted it felt "ridiculous" to have been named the winner of the TV contest last night (18.07.14).
Speaking after her victory, she said: "I can't Adam and Eve it! Thank you so much, this has been the best fun.
"It's ridiculous winning something like this."
The star overcame tough competition from Jodie Kidd and Charley Boorman in the final, which was described as "incredible" by judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace.
Sophie was delighted with her big win, saying the whole contest has been "mad".
She added: "It's M for mad, the whole thing's been mad. I feel so thankful to all the people who's recipes I've used and abused, the 'MasterChef' team have been proper fantastic."
For her winning meal, she prepared duck stuffed with juniper berries as a starter, followed by a main of even roasted brill flatfish, while it was rounded off with a steamed cherry pudding for desert.
Gregg Wallace said: "Sophie's food is very much like her, it's original, it's individual, it has a style, it's different.
"She creates some absolute delights on a plate, they look like little stories to me; they just look amazing."

Luisa Bradshaw-White wants to focus on family rather than being "famous".
The 39-year-old 'EastEnders' actress - who plays Tina Carter on the soap - has admitted it was daunting joining such a popular TV show, but she has been able to cope thanks to her home life.
She said: "It frightened me.Years ago, people in 'EastEnders' were very, very famous and I never wanted that. But now you've got all the reality TV stars taking that place so actors can just get on with doing their job.
"Of course, if you want to be a celebrity you can, but when it comes to walking down the red carpet, there's a whole generation of 'EastEnders' stars younger than me who can do that.
"I can just be like a mum. The pressure to be beautiful is off me. I feel at ease as I'm not trying to be somebody I don't think I've ever been."
Meanwhile, Luisa - who joined the soap last year - admitted despite her success, "can't let go" of her role as a parent and partner.
She told The Sun newspaper's TV Magazine: "I've got a partner, Annette, and we've been together 15 years.
"I've been a stay-at-home mum for the past eight years and now Annette's taken a year out for the [two] girls.
"Although I can't let go of that role - I get home and still try to control everything."

Scott Timlin says he "pulls more girls" than the rest of the 'Geordie Shore' cast.
The 25-year-old reality star isn't worried about two new males - Aaron Chalmers and Kyle Christie - joining the show as he gets more female admirers than his co-stars, including best friend Gary 'Gaz' Beadle.
Scott exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm not the best looking, but I definitely pull more girls and I know that for a fact. I've got a different personality to the others, I do my own thing and have my own way of doing things, that's why I'm good at what I'm doing.
"When I'm single, I'm pulling girls left, right and centre.
"I don't think it's a competition because I'm just doing what I do.
"The new guys are definitely fitting in well, though."
Scott had an on/off romance with Marnie Simpson in the last series but insists he's completely over her and back to his flirtatious ways in the eighth series which begins next week.
He said: "I got caught up in the whole Marnie thing last year, but I think I'm more like I was in Series 5 when we all went round Europe. I think I'm more on the pull, more funny, my usual self and having a laugh - not kicking off like how I was."
Scott also ruled out a rift with his pal Gaz, who is 'Geordie Shore's resident lothario, and insists they'll never clash over a girl again.
He added: "We're not going to fall out about girls now, we're sick of all that."
But the burly star admits Gaz, 25, can have a one-track mind.
Scott said: "Gaz can let a girl get in the way. If it's one of his ex-girlfriends and she tried it on with me then I wouldn't do it. Gaz doesn't think about stuff like that - he'll just get with any girl regardless."
'Geordie Shore' airs Tuesday, July 22 at 10pm on MTV.

The 'Big Bang Theory' stars have demanded a payrise. The cast of the CBS hit show have reportedly refused to sign their contracts for the upcoming season until bosses agree to pay them $1 million per episode. Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco...

'Hollyoaks' has been named the most violent soap on British television.
The channel 4 show - which airs at 6:30pm weekdays - has beaten 'EastEnders' to the title after it had 11.5 violent scenes per hour last year in comparison to the BBC One programme's 2.1, according to Ofcom.
The soap - which is currently following a domestic abuse and rape storyline - has even overtaken ITV's 'Coronation Street', which has remained steady at three violent scenes per hour, as well as 'Emmerdale's four.
The show was hit with criticisms from Ofcom last year and was branded too "violent and shocking" for pre-watershed viewing after a character was pushed under a train in a disturbing scene in August 2013.
A Channel 4 spokesman said: "We are committed to ensuring all 'Hollyoaks' storylines are appropriate for a pre-watershed audience. The portrayal of violence is appropriately limited and is shown within the context of long-running storyline. Programmes that include scenes which some people may find upsetting are clearly flagged to viewers at the beginning of the broadcast."
Meanwhile, the study, called Violence in UK Soaps, has also found that the 9pm watershed was key in the viewers' attitudes towards violence and victims.
A spokesman for Ofcom said: "Viewers were prepared to tolerate moderately violent scenes before the watershed; however, all agreed that strong scenes with a vulnerable victim were unacceptable before 9pm."

Marvin and Rochelle Humes have been branded "too insincere and too stupid" to present 'This Morning'.
The couple are filling in for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield every Friday throughout the summer, but their hosting skills on the popular ITV show today (18.07.14) didn't go down too well with the viewers.
One fan, Lori Looker, took to her Twitter account to vent her frustration at the stand-in hosts, tweeting: "Marvin and Rochelle are both too insincere and too stupid to present 'This Morning.' "
Another viewer, Maria, wrote: "Urgh who's idea was it to put Marvin and Rochelle on this morning? They really aren't very good, despite the fact they think they are!"
Sally Watson added: "Marvin and rochelle are so nervous and awkward on @itvthismorning."
However, other viewers jumped to the duo's defence on the social networking site and praised them on their new role on the daytime TV show.
Beth King tweeted: "I love Rochelle and Marvin on 'This Morning'."
Laura Wright added: "Rochelle and Marvin Humes are one of my favourite couples."
Meanwhile, Marvin and Rochelle, who have 14-month-old daughter Alaia-Mai together, have split their hosting duties with Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes, who cover for Holly and Phil from Monday to Thursday.
It was announced recently Amanda Holden and Christine Bleakley will stand in for Holly when she goes on maternity leave later this year to have her third child.
