HBO Cancels Bill Simmons' Show After Just 17 Episodes

HBO has pulled the plug on Bill Simmons’ Any Given Wednesday. The final edition will air November 9.

Any Given Wednesday debuted in June. Despite having plenty of star power — Malcolm Gladwell, Ben Affleck, Aaron Rodgers, Nas, Bob Costas and many more appeared as guests — Simmons admitted the show didn’t catch on.

“One of the many reasons I joined HBO was to see if we could create a show built around smart conversations for sports fan and pop culture junkies,” said Simmons, in a statement.
