The Meredith Vieira Show Is Cancelled, Goes to the Big Graveyard of Mediocre Daytime Talk TV

!
The Meredith Vieira Show will soon end its second season on NBC, which is surprising to no one. Daytime talk shows don’t have a long shelf life these days. Have we finally lost our appetite for mediocre TV?
Though The Meredith Vieira Show launched in 2014 to decent ratings, the show was down 50 percent in viewership by its second year. Vieira will be fine: according to Deadline, she’ll transition right into NBC’s Summer Olympics coverage in Rio de Janeiro.
“I am so sorry to see our show come to an end after this season, but I am also incredibly proud of the work our staff has done and forever grateful to our supportive viewers,” Vieira said in a statement to Deadline. “We promise to spend our final weeks producing the best broadcast we know how. And have a blast doing so!”
