Harry was renewed for a second season despite being a "soft ratings performer." Harry will continue to tape episodes through September. Connick will next star in The Sting on Broadway, as well as guest-star on Will & Grace. “I’m incredibly proud of the show we produced over the past two seasons," Connick said in a statement. "We tried to create a safe place where families could gather to be entertained, uplifted and inspired and where we could celebrate everyday women who work hard to make our world a better place. I am truly grateful for the opportunity and will continue to find avenues to uplift our country.”

Harry must have done better in Fort Wayne than other places. He kept his 3PM hour from season 1 to season 2 between General Hospital and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Here in Memphis, Harry's show airs on ABC affiliate WATN at 4:00 PM (both this season and last). Personally, this is really disappointing to me as this is the only current talk show I watch on a regular basis.

I’m really shocked about this. Harry Connick Jr’s show “Harry” is very underrated but just wasnt enough to see Season 3.

Kept the same slot throughout here in the Lansing/Jackson, MI market as well. 3pm on our CBS affiliate WLNS, between The Talk and Dr. Phil.

I never understood why Harry Connick Jr. got the idea to have his very own talk show in the first place because as a singer I think he thinks he is talented but given the right style of music he sounds alright but on cover songs Harry does weak jobs on some covers so I guess he wanted to expand his horizons and thought he could be a big star in talk shows like what Phil Donahue and Geraldo and Regis Philbin tried to do when they had talk shows and by competing with the top names in talk shows Harry Connick Jr. hoped to add talk show host to his resume but it was not meant to be. I have never understood why singers have started to become talk show hosts these days like Kelly Clarkson and I think why singers want to have talk shows now is so they can have a side job in addition to singing. Harry Connick Jr.'s talk show Harry was a prime example of this and why I think it was cancelled was due to low promotion and if they would've had Harry sing a couple songs and had a mini-concert at the end of each show's episode it would've been better promoted. It won't be long til we see more singers such as Beyonce or even Billy Joel get into the talk show genre just like Harry Connick Jr. did

Probably because they want to make money staying in one place and not have to travel the world doing one-nighters to make a living. Same reason so many of them take up residence in Las Vegas or Branson.
