https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O_VVDLFSs0 Better Late Than Never is the show you e always wanted, but you just didn’t know it until tonight at 10p. NBC sent Henry Winkler, William Shatner, George Foreman, Terry Bradshaw and Jeff Dye for a month to explore six Asian cities in four countries, and they will never be the same. Not the men, but the cities.
On tonight’s season premiere, their first stop is Tokyo. As they try to navigate their way to the hotel, we will learn some really interesting facts about the Japanese city. You will get to see the World’s Busiest Crosswalk and pray that they make their way to the other side. Winkler might’ve been able to stop traffic as The Fonz, but that does not work here. Once they get to the other side, they go underground to the World’s Busiest Subway Station and get lost in it. One of them loves the attention and the other four just want to get undressed and lie down in a comfortable bed.
When they finally get to the hotel that Dye, who is their tour guide, booked for them, they are in for a shock. They said they wanted to experience the culture, but had no idea that he would book them in a Capsule Hotel. You have to tune in to find out why the locals stay at these types of places. That and to see the comedian completely naked.
Somehow, the five of them get some sleep and then it is off to try the cuisine of Japan. Shatner convinces them to try a hole in the wall and one of the local delicacies. They are in for a huge surprise when they find out what he ordered for them. Good thing, Foreman brought some BBQ sauce with him because that is all Bradshaw is going to eat once he discovers what it is.
Later on that day, they go to a bar and have some beer. Did you know that is the most popular alcoholic beverage there? So popular you can buy it in vending machines and they even sell it to kids. Theirs is non-alcholoic, don’t worry. See that is a cool fact you didn’t know. That and one of them gets drunk off of just one beer. Do you think you know who the lightweight is?
It wasn’t only about the food and drinks, they also go on a one of those infamous Japanese talk shows and make fools of themselves, visit a skyscraper with a glass floor and visit Mt Fiji. I am surprised they didn’t sacrifice Dye to the active Volcano.
All in all, they had a lot of fun Tokyo and now it is off to the next city. In the coming weeks, we will watch them travel to Kyoto, Japan; Seoul, South Korea; Hong Kong; and Phuket and Chiang Mai, Thailand.
I knew when NBC announced that they were going to do this show; it was going to be amazing. But exceeded my expectations. It is great to watch four legends on one show. Not only will we get to know things about them that we didn’t know, we also get to learn about the different places that they are visiting. They are going to visit tourist locations and also some hidden away areas. They are having the time of their lives, and you will be too as you watch them.
I saw this premiere episode a few weeks ago, but I wasn’t allowed to talk about it until now. I have wanted to scream it from the rooftops that this show is the best thing to happen to television in a long time. It is fun, it is real, it is educational and it pretty gosh darn perfect. It will make you laugh, leave you in awe, and make you laugh again. Mostly because these old friends can’t stop bickering, but at the end of the day, they are all still friends and Jeff Dye. Joking, he fits in brilliantly with the two actors, the boxer and the football player. While he tries to fit in with them, they are all trying to fit in in the city they are visiting. Believe me they stick out like sore thumbs, and yet they are welcomed wherever they go. And you should welcome them into your home tonight and every Tuesday at 10p on NBC.
It’s like you are right there with them. It is just a whole lot cheaper and more comfortable to watch it from your home as they do all the dirty work! And they do get dirty, but that is for another episode…

On August 23rd, my favorite new show Better Late Than Never is going to debut and the 5 celebrities really got to know each other as they toured the Orient. But there were some things they didn’t learn about each other during those few weeks and NBC asked William Shatner, Henry Winkler and Jeff Dye some more questions about themselves. Questions like Sushi or Kim Chi and dogs or cats, but then things got interesting when they asked boxers or briefs. The comedian said “boxer briefs”, The Shat revealed he goes “commando,” while The Fonz explained why he doesn’t like to sit, “I have never gone commando because it chafes.”
And now I have the image in my head of all of them with the answers they gave to that question.
Most focus on Captain Kirk being scared of small dogs. Not working. Help! Can’t picture my childhood crushes nearly or completely nude.
I know, I will think of the premiere episode when we see Dye completely naked! Better Late Than Never to have a new image in my head!
William Shatner was seen sitting in a cardboard box on the street, so you have to wonder if the actor has hit hard times? Nope, he was making a statement on Twitter, I just can’t figure out what the trope is all about.
What I can tell you is that I am anxiously awaiting to see his new NBC show Better Late Than Never starting on August 23rd. The Shat along with Henry Winkler, Jeff Dye, George Foreman and Terry Bradshaw travel all over Asia to learn all about The Orient through their foods, historical sites, people and whatever else the continent throws at them.
On a different note, I have had Living in a Box’s Living in a Box stuck in my head since I saw this photo. Suffer along with me.

Last year when NBC announced that they were sending Henry Winkler, William Shatner, George Foreman, Terry Bradshaw and Jeff Dye to Asia for a docusries called Better Late Than Never, I have been anxiously waiting for this show to debut. Just like the title, Better Late Than Never, almost a year after they filmed their trip, it finally has a premiere date. It will debut on August 23rd and it looks like it will be the best comedy to grace our televisions in a real long time. Yet, only one comedian and two actors are part of it and it’s unscripted.
Not only should you be prepared to laugh until your cry, you will also learn a lot about The Orient as they try not cause an International incident. Which looks like they might’ve according to that trailer.
Last week, NBC announced their new reality show Better Late Than Never; and even though show doesn’t start filming for two months, the contestants are already conspiring against each other.
The comedic adventure reality show is sending William Shatner, Henry Winkler, George Foreman, Terry Bradshaw and Jeff Dye to the Orient and NBC is making them fend for themselves. Now that the news is out, the contestants are talking to each other on Twitter about it.
The Shat Tweeted to the comedian, “Is that an attempt to form an alliance so we don’t vote you off the continent? What are the rules? Are there any? 😘”
To which the contestant of I Can Do That told him, “@WilliamShatner the only rules I live by is ‘always have fun’, never trust ‘Gorn’, and ‘voodoo is real'” along with a photo of Dye holding a Captain Kirk doll and a screwdriver. The other three should be afraid because there’s a Fonz doll, a collectable figure of the football legend and toy versions of the George Foreman grill, so Dye can use his voodoo magic on those items too.
Good thing Shatner asked the others to form an alliance with him against Dye, so maybe they will make it back to America unharmed.
That is if there are any rules?
If this is what Better Late Than Never is going to be like, then the earlier this show can debut the better!
