AceShowbiz - FOX is no longer welcoming Ryan Seacrest's "Knock Knock Live". The network has yanked the new reality show off schedule after just two episodes and will replace it with reruns of comedies including "The Last Man on Earth" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine".
The cancellation comes after the show drew low ratings. The premiere episode attracted only 1.7 million viewers and a 0.6 rating among adults 18-49, while the second episode which aired this week delivered only 1.6 million viewers and a 0.5 rating in the demo.
"Knock Knock Live" sent a team to everyday Americans' homes to surprise "unsuspecting people at their front doors with a chance to win big cash prizes, meet their favorite celebrities and turn their wildest dreams into reality." Seacrest hosted the show in a Los Angeles-based studio.
David Beckham and Justin Bieber have been featured on the show, and the likes of Ariana Grande, Lea Michele, Meghan Trainor, Robin Thicke, Rita Ora, Florida Georgia Line and Common have actually been booked to appear.
