Deadline reports that NBC has decided to call it quits on Next Caller after four episodes (out of the six ordered) were filmed. Apparently NBC didn't like the creative direction of the comedy starring Dane Cook. According to the report, production has been shut down and the filmed episodes will not air.
It was already getting savaged by the critics (I believe they saw the pilot episode? I’m not sure) so it’s probably a good thing.
Really disappointed. I love Dane Cook.
In a surprise twist, Dane Cook wins 2nd cancellation! Who would have thought…
I feel like everybody wins here, Dane Cook is insufferable, he was funny in 2005 if you were an obnoxious bro type.
Looked better than Save Me. Just saying. Still peeved they didn’t pick up Susan 313.
Rest in peace. Except not.
Surprised it made it THIS far. Dane Cook has never been funny.
Too bad. I like Dane Cook, but I can’t stand his boss on this show (can’t remember his name).
I thought they ordered 7 episodes, not 6.
NBC is a joke of a network with this move. Ugh. Had to be better than Whitney.
When I read it wasn’t a multi-cam I immediately gave up on it.
Anything that keeps Dane Cook off the air is a good thing.
I agree with

“NBC is a joke of a network with this move.”
‘Next Caller’ rudely hang up. Not even made it to the list of “second broadcast show to be canceled?”, I suppose.
I thought this smelled like a dog, until I saw “Starring Dane Cook”-now I KNOW it was a dog…with fleas!
wtf?
but we are going to be forced to endure save me?
WOW, that Futurama joke about cancelling shows before they airs have become true!
And yet NBC refuses to cancel Animal Practice and that darn monkey that annoys me.
And they Mockingbird Lane’ series downgraded to NBC Halloween Special, I was looking forward to this series.
I say the Cancellation Bear should replace all the NBC executives.
So this means more Guys With Kids, right? If so I’m happy!
But I am curious to see how bad was this show? And why does everybody hate Dane Cook? I don’t understand
