‘King Of The Nerds’ Cancelled After Three Seasons On TBS

The reality competition series hosted by Robert Carradine and Curtis Armstrong won’t be returning for a fourth cycle. TBS has ended King Of The Nerds after three seasons. Armstrong announced the news on Twitter:

Dearest nerds! Deeply sorry to announce that @KingofNerdsTBS will not be returning for a 4th season. Hard to find words now. #nerdsrule

— Curtis Armstrong (@curtisisbooger) September 4, 2015

The cancellation decision, confirmed by TBS, comes after TNT and TBS’ new topper Kevin Reilly in February outlined a brand makeover for TBS with a focus on “bold sensibility.” This is the first renewal decision on the unscripted series since the regime change at the network. The axing was is not surprising given the fact that it has been six months since the show ended its eight-episode third season.

King of the Nerds — which gives contestants challenges that test their intellect, ingenuity, skills and pop-culture knowledge for a $100,000 prize — was the first TBS reality show to stick after several strikeouts. It was designed as a companion for TBS’ hit acquired comedy The Big Bang Theory.

Thanks for posting. I actually was wondering about the fate of this show a few weeks, but couldn't find anything. I assumed it wasn't cancelled, but shelved / let to fade away. Too bad they cancelled it, the past season was the best one so far.

WTF? This was a really good show. A lot of the contestants were genuine geeks.

not really lol the show was awful and the only reason it made it past 1 season was because it was so unironically bad people found it funny
