It looks like the vacation is over. Recently, Jeff Dye confirmed that NBC has cancelled Better Late Than Never after two seasons.
The reality show follows Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Terry Bradshaw, and George Foreman as they travel the world with both help and misdirection from tech-savvy comedian Jeff Dye.
On Twitter, Dye revealed NBC has decided not to renew Better Late Than Never. The series wrapped its second season in February with an average rating of .91 in the 18-49 demo and 4.819 million viewers. That’s a nearly 40% drop in ratings from season one.

What do you think? Have you seen Better Late Than Never? Are you sad it’s been cancelled?
It’s so nice to have a show we can watch as a family! Please do a 3rd season!
I’m sad this show was cancelled. Find a new network, PLEASE! Best show I’ve watched in years. Love these guys. I didn’t think I’d like the show when I first tuned in, but I was SO WRONG. this show was great. I’m gonna miss it. ❤️❤️❤️
I loved Better Late Than Never! So sorry it has been cancelled…bring it back please! It was such a fun and also heartwarming show. So much better than many shows now on TV.
I am disappointed
Show had 4 of the greatest legends of all time going thru hilarious and entertaining activities. Can’t believe it’s cancelled.
What the hell is wrong with NBC? They have so few shows that are worth watching and they cancel the one that was so funny and worth watching. I hate reality shows but watching these 5 guys travel around the world not only gave me a lot of laughs but showed me parts of the world that I will never get an opportunity to see. I was seeing the world through their eyes. You suck NBC!
What were they thinking? This show was hilarious! I was really looking forward to season 3. What a big let down.
This show was hysterical I cannot believe that it has been cancelled! What in the world are you TV Executives thinking? When you get something good on TV and great people like Bradshaw and Shatner and and Winkler what are you people thinking that bringing this show back I can’t imagine?? Please bring the show back for our sake thank you Carolyn
I really like this show it was funny and the cast was amazing. Looks like they could of taken something else off. Please bring it back
This was the funniest of reality shows! The cast was amazing. Recorded last season & shared with friends who also became hooked. Please bring it back!!
This show was awesome. Good old fashioned fun. I hope another network will have the sense to pick it up!
This show should not be cancelled. Maybe advertise it so more people will know about it. It’s the only show that made me laugh out loud. We don’t need anymore singing shows, dating shows or shows with non-stop violence. This was different and it was genuine. Cancel some of the crappy shows!!
Was just thinking about this show to see when Season 3 was coming. So sad to learn it’s not. Sure you could tell it was scripted, but we loved the interaction with the icons and Jeff. RIP.
Really? I loved this show. So much better than the other trash ie: Bachelor, Bachelorette. Who cN dance, sing etc. Bring it back.
Please don’t cancel the one and only show on tv that I can count on laughing out loud with every show, it is so humanly funny. It was nice to look forward to be able to watch something on tv that left you with laughter, instead of every thing else that leaves you with anger. We need this!! Come on
Please do not cancel “Better Late Than Ever”. It is the best comedy show on TV.
