More from Hidden Remote • 34m ago • 15h ago • 19h ago • 19h ago • 20h ago This summer, NFL legend, boxing Hall of Famer George Foreman, award winning actors William Shatner and Henry Winkler and comedian Jeff Dye came together to go on the adventure of a lifetime on NBC’s newest alternative comedy series. They packed their bags and ventured across the globe to Asia for an unbelievable excursion which spanned across six incredible locations. From scaling more than 800 steps in order to catch a glimpse of in Tokyo and tempting fate at the DMZ in Korea, to finding their zen in Kyoto and partaking in robot battles in Hong Kong, the five friends immersed themselves in the local culture. What no one ever predicted was for the series to become summer’s breakout hit drawing in audiences north of 7 million total viewers across its first three weeks. America couldn’t get enough of the series which served as a one-hour escape full of laughter and a reminder that you never know what adventures await you and age is nothing more than a number!

Prior to Tuesday’s Better Late Than Never finale, Hidden Remote caught up with Bradshaw and Shatner to reminisce about their crazy adventures while candidly discussing their hopes for what Season 2 could bring. Could you reflect on the success of this show. Did you know going into it, it was going to be something special? Terry Bradshaw: I had no idea that this show would be successful. I mean, there’s so many – I’ve been a part of, I don’t know, four, five, pilots that never made it and yet we got a chance to actually shoot this show. I think while we were doing it I was so hot and miserable and hurting I never gave any thought that this thing would just be more than what it was, four shows, six shows and then you sit around and you go, well will it be picked up? Who knows that and you just move on.

So I know it was fun and I wanted to continue because it was so much fun but I’m not privy and savvy enough to know what America is going to want to watch. That’s kind of what’s kind of cool about this show.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity of sitting down for a private sushi lunch with two of televisions most beloved icons. I mean who wouldn't be excited about dining with.

William Shatner: And I agree with that. You just don’t know what America is going to watch. It’s a great phrase. We were staggering around in the monsoon season in East Asia and tripping over each other’s feet and eating each other’s worms and octopus and unshaven and unkempt and miserable at times and joyous at others and we were just fending for ourselves and trying to help each other with no thought of how this is going to sell and the fact that it is as successful as it is comes as a surprise, certainly to me.

Shatner: Well, it was filled with unexpected things; both known and unknown. There were – I probably the best of the moments was between human beings that five people who had no knowledge of each other, maybe some cursory knowledge which may have been curse words, but some little tiny bits and pieces here and there but no depth and then we spend a month in each other’s company and had some really meaningful talks. It was very interesting from that point of view. Getting to know these marvelous people at the top of their business.

Bradshaw: There’s two things that I really enjoyed. I enjoyed getting dressed and doing makeup with everybody in the morning because there was more (jockery) going around, more slapstick comedy, more – I mean, it was really seriously funny and I enjoyed that part a lot because it’s like we’re all getting dressed together to go to work. I enjoyed that everybody’s lose and cracking jokes and then – and Bill touched on the talking part. Bill do you recall, we had several talks?

I enjoyed that because one thing about Bill, and I accused him of studying the night before so he knew everything that was going on the next day. I said, how can anybody know this much about monks or Thailand or, I mean, that man is seriously educated and I tried to pigeonhole him, I tried to catch him, but he always had an answer and me being uneducated about this stuff it sounded good to me, you know? But Bill and I had some really, really good talks and he made a lot of sense about where we were and how this all got started. So I enjoyed that, I especially enjoyed getting dressed, doing the makeup and having fun with everybody. That to me was a blast. Shatner: And you look good in lipstick.

Shatner: Or air conditioned. Bradshaw: Right. I’ve never been to Paris. I’ve never been to Madrid. I think those cities would be fascinating for me.

Obviously Cuba would be a place that I would really – Cuba would be cool. There’s just a lot of – I’ve never been to Niagara Falls so Shatner: No kidding? You’re a tourist. I want to go to China, I want to go to India. Bradshaw: You really would want to – I wouldn’t mind going but I’d like to go at a little different time of the year.

Free Voice Changing Software For Windows 7. It was – God dang it was Shatner: Oh no. No, no, we have to go when it’s cool. No, it was our death almost.

You could see the air in the monsoon season. No, but Northern India and China in its complexity and Bradshaw: I’ve never been there, I’d like that.

I’d like to go to Russia. Shatner: Russia would be great. Bradshaw: Yes. I’d like to do all of this before we all can’t walk and talk and see unless Shatner: And I’m very close to that. Bradshaw: Unless they do the show out of a wheelchair then we’re good, we’ve got ten more years. You both had so many life changing experiences on Better Late Than Never, but if there is another thing you can check off your bucket list what would it be?

Shatner: Well, my bucket list was to catch a pass from Terry. Bradshaw: Did that. Shatner: And get in the ring with George Foreman. Bradshaw: And you did that. Credit: NBC Shatner: And to have Henry make me laugh and he told me a great joke so I laughed hard.

So the next bucket list is, well, I wrote Terry saying, “Imagine us, you and I Terry, with a cigar in one hand and a Cuba Libre in the other,” and that’s going to be part of my bucket list. Bradshaw: Yes. I had never thought about a bucket list. This wasn’t on my bucket list but now I guess I could say that I’ve done a movie, I’ve done a TV show, I’ve done a pregame football show, I played football, I’ve sung, I’ve danced, I’ve done Vegas. I haven’t skydived and I’m not going to. Bill and I both are horse competitors. I think I would just – my bucket list is way over full.

I would just like to continue – my wife goes swim with the sharks, she knows I’m petrified of the ocean. I’m not swimming with sharks.

No way is that going to happen. I just think I would just like to keep raising really good horses and have world champions that I’ve raised.

Shatner: And avoid kicking the bucket. Bradshaw: Oh. Well, you know that was part of our bet on this show was that which country will Bill pass away on? And I said Thailand.

Shatner: Making bets as to where I would die. Bradshaw: I thought that would be a ratings grabber right there. Shatner: I fooled them all. I’m waiting for a pickup. I’m waiting for the second season and we’ll call it, Where Am I Going to Die? Bradshaw: I mean, seriously if you think about it, if this thing does a second season and Bill is 85 now, if they don’t put us back in the heat in the tropics I think he’s going to be all right.

Yes, I was miserable, just miserable. Shatner: It was miserable. But the danger is now that we know what works and what doesn’t work, we’re liable to go and do what we think is working and without the knowledge that what the reason the stuff works is because we didn’t know whether it would work or not. Is that obtuse reasoning? Bradshaw: Yes but is that – I don’t think on a show like this though Bill that – I mean, they could have said look, here’s what we want and our stumbling, bumbling personalities all came together as we tried to figure out what they want and that will be the same thing here. I don’t think – you can’t contrive this stuff, you can’t make up the dialogue, you just do it and so therefore I think it will be funny.

If you haven’t watched any of it, I mean, it’s funny. Luger Serial Number. Seriously funny, it is funny.

It reaches my people and my people as you well know talk like I do. It reaches them, they love it.

Talk about a trip of a lifetime: NBC is sending Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Terry Bradshaw, and George Foreman on what appears to be a small-screen reality version of The Bucket List. The guys will hit the road for Better Late Than Never, a new unscripted show that’s based on a South Korean format called Grandpas Over Flowers. Executive produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, The Bachelor’s Jason Ehrlich, and Winkler, the show sees the men embark on the “journey of a lifetime” by traveling across Asia with no schedule and no itinerary. The only help will come from Jeff Dye, a young, tech-savvy comedian who NBC says “isn’t above leading the men off track.” The show was taped last August, made stops in Tokyo, Kyoto, Seoul, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Chang Mai. It will debut sometime after the 2016 Summer Olympics, which take place in August.
