Staffers at The Wendy Williams Show are scrambling to find new gigs as they fear the chatfest will be replaced by one helmed by substitute host Jerry O’Connell, sources told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

“Wendy has one season left on her contract, and the show may not be renewed,” a source snitched. “They’re testing out Jerry as a replacement. The rats are deserting the sinking ship!”

A source snitched Williams is “deeply insecure about her own success.”
