Bethenny Frankel Show: Talk Program Featuring 'Real Housewives of New York' Star Cancelled After First Season, Said She 'Had a Blast' [VIDEO]
Featuring reality stars like the Braxton sisters and the men of The Real Housewives of Atlanta wasn't enough for Bethenny Frankel's new talk show.
Bethenny has been cancelled after one season, Deadline reported Friday. The talk show, which Ellen DeGeneres was the executive producer of, was in risk of losing its affiliates, which would drop its audience down 70%. Most of the affiliates traded in Frankel's show for Meredith Viera's new talk show which is scheduled to hit the small screen this fall.
Frankel said in a statement, "I had a blast doing this show with Telepictures...my entire staff worked so hard and made every day so much fun."
One of the leading corporations that lead the show, Telepictures, said it won't be the last we hear from the former The Real Housewives of New York star.
The company released a statement and said, "While we are disappointed not to be able to bring the series back for a second season, we remain convinced that she has a unique voice and that she will continue to be successful."
The show sat at the number 14 spot in the talk show genre and brought in a 0.9 rating, beating out Arsenio, The Test and Trisha but coming in way below her fellow new talk show host Queen Latifah.
Latifah's show brought in 1.5 million viewers each episode while Frankel's scored 1.1 million each episode.
DeGeneres is said to have really tried to save the show but was not successful in doing so.
Bethenny kicked off around the U.S. last fall after a test in the summer of 2012.
