Renowned actress Bette Midler recently opened up about the short-lived CBS show, “Fail Better”, and revealed that it was all thanks to Lindsay Lohan’s sudden exit that the show ended after just one season. The revelation was made during Midler’s appearance on David Duchovny’s podcast, aptly titled “Fail Better”.
The show, which was highly anticipated by fans and industry insiders alike, had a promising concept and a star-studded cast. However, it failed to live up to expectations and was ultimately axed after just one season. While many speculated about the reasons behind the show’s failure, Midler’s recent interview shed some light on the real cause.
During her conversation with Duchovny, Midler spoke candidly about the challenges of creating a successful show in today’s competitive television landscape. She shared her disappointment and frustration over the show’s untimely end and attributed it to the unexpected departure of one of its main stars, Lindsay Lohan.
Lohan, who was one of the lead actresses on the show, made the decision to leave after just a few episodes, leaving the rest of the cast and crew in a tough spot. Midler explained that Lohan’s exit was sudden and without any prior notice, which caused a major setback for the show.
Despite the disappointment, Midler chose to look at the situation in a positive light and encouraged the audience to do the same. She reminded everyone that failure is a part of life and the key is to learn from it and bounce back stronger.
In fact, the very concept of “Fail Better” is derived from the famous quote by Samuel Beckett, “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” This is exactly what Midler and the rest of the cast and crew of the show did. They took the failure in their stride and moved on to their next projects, armed with the lessons they learned from their experience on “Fail Better.”
Midler also praised the talented cast and crew of the show, and emphasized that their hard work and dedication should not be overshadowed by the show’s short run. She highlighted that each and every person involved in the making of the show gave their best and that their efforts should be celebrated.
It is often said that success is not measured by how many times you fall, but by how many times you get back up. And that is exactly what Midler and the team behind “Fail Better” did. Their positive outlook and determination to keep moving forward in the face of failure is truly commendable.
Moreover, Midler’s words of encouragement and her positive attitude towards failure serve as a reminder to all of us that it is okay to fail. In fact, failure can often pave the way for even greater success in the future. As Midler eloquently puts it, “Sometimes failures are just stepping stones to something bigger and better.”
In the end, it is safe to say that “Fail Better” may have failed to make it past one season, but it has left a lasting impact on its viewers and the entertainment industry as a whole. It serves as a reminder that even the most star-studded and highly anticipated projects can falter, but it is important to embrace failure and strive to do better in the future.
So let us take a cue from Bette Midler and the team behind “Fail Better” and remember that failure is not the end, but rather an opportunity to grow and improve. As the saying goes, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Fail better.”
