“Better Late Than Never” premieres Tuesday on NBC.
NBC’s ‘Better Late Than Never’ takes celebs on the trip of a lifetime © Zap2it
Take four male celebrities of a certain age, bring them on an epic trek through Asia and watch what happens. That’s the conceit behind the new unscripted NBC series “Better Late Than Never.” Premiering Tuesday, Aug. 23, the fish-out-of-water comedy event follows TV legends Henry Winkler (“Happy Days”) and William
but not Bradshaw and Foreman. But that didn’t stop the four men from becoming fast friends during casting and production. “Oh, we’ve had so much fun,” Winkler says, “and you know it was grueling but it was like a trip that fell out of the heavens. I mean, four very big personalities and ultimately you can feel the affection and respect because I was allowed to go into the editing room and look at
Shatner (“Star Trek”), football great Terry Bradshaw and former heavyweight boxing champ George Foreman as they embark on a journey of a lifetime through locations such as Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok and Hong Kong, traveling with no schedule and no itinerary and guided by comedian Jeff Dye. Winkler, who is also an executive producer, knew Shatner prior to this project
stuff as they cut it together. And I thought to myself, ‘I’m in it and I want to spend time with these guys.’ ” Each stop, according to Winkler, took three-andone-half days to film with a typical shooting day lasting 14-15 hours. In each episode, the four men banter, kid around, take in landmark sights and interact with the locals, along the way discovering that language is no barrier.
“Here’s what’s interesting: We’re all the same,” Winkler says. “I watched George Foreman, who is a mountain of a man, lie down on a thatched mat on a platform covered by a thatched roof open on three sides, and these children 2-, 3-, 4-years-old, came over to him in Thailand and they could have been his grandchildren. Without knowing the language but only the language of laughter, they
started making up games together and jumping on him. I mean, I saw it. I met these children in Kyoto at a sumo wrestling match, their mom and dad came, and with no language we laughed together and created masterpieces in the gravel we were sitting on.” As for himself, Winkler found himself bonding with a “local” of another species in Thailand.

School traffic to be altered
Parents who take children to school will have to embrace some unfamiliar routines when it comes to their morning commutes when the 201617 school year opens Aug. 22. The most noticeable will be two intersections along 25 Mile Avenue. Since a summer accident necessitated a temporary traffic signal at the 25 Mile Avenue-Moreman Street, the light’s cycle has also been altered to accommodate anticipated traffic turning from 25 Mile onto Moreman to get to Hereford Junior High and Northwest Elementary. “While there isn’t a protected [turn] arrow, the signal no longer permits north and south traffic to enter the intersection simultaneously,” Hereford Police Chief Brent Harrison said. “If you are travelling northbound and the light is green, then you can turn.” Drivers should still exercise caution as the burden of navigating the intersection safely still rests with the motorist, Harrison said. The change in traffic flow took place earlier this week to permit area drivers to acclimate prior to Monday’s beginning of school. “TxDOT [Texas
