Additional information

Better Late Than Never is an American reality-travel show that airs on NBC and is produced by Universal Television (under its Universal Television Alternative name), in association with Storyline Entertainment. The series is an adaptation of the South Korean Grandpas Over Flowers series. The cast includes four "seasoned" and one younger North American celebrities:

  1. William Shatner (Captain Kirk from Star Trek)
  2. Henry Winkler (The Fonz from Happy Days)
  3. George Foreman (former Heavyweight boxer)
  4. Terry Bradshaw (former American footballer)
  5. Jeff Dye (stand-up comedian) 

as they travel overseas without luxuries, experiencing new cultures and checking off their bucket lists. The series started productions in August 2015 and premiered 23 August 2016.

Season 2 of the show saw the celebrities journey through Europe with episode two entitled Sweden: I'm a Viking!

As the five celebrities visited ABBA The Museum, Björn showed up wearing the costume he'd worn in Made in Sweden For Export from 1975!  It was revealed that George Foreman was a huge ABBA fan and had named his daughter after Frida.

Later, they appeared at Mamma Mia! The Party introduced by Björn.

Björn would have met Henry Winkler back in 1979 at Music for UNICEF - A Gift of Song Concert where he was one of the hosts.
