NBC bring back 'Fear Factor'

Fear of reviving reality hits is not a factor for NBC. After spiking their ratings impressively with singing competition The Voice, the Peacock is now rebooting action classic Fear Factor.

NBC’s head of alternative programming Paul Telegdy says the notion first came to the network’s attention when sister cable channel Chiller saw high ratings for near decade-old Fear Factor repeats. Telegdy watched some of the encores himself and was impressed how well the action held up.

“No one has come close to doing what they’ve done on that show,” Telegdy exclusively tells EW. “You go back and they’ve stood the test of time. It always had this incredible spectacle to it.”

Telegdy conferred with Fear Factor producer, Endemol USA, and discussed doing a few specials with the company’s president and CEO David Goldberg. Then they decided to go bigger.

I hope they bring back Joe Rogan, his UFC job shouldn't interfere. I think this is the first reality competition show I started watching regularly.

Yeah Joe is very upfront about Fear Factor being 100% about the money. News Radio was ending and he was like "I'll just do this show for 1 season then it'll get canceled and I'll have the paycheck." He didn't actually enjoy the work, I don't think he would return to it now that he has UFC and other stuff.

And I don't think it'll work without him. He was kind of an everyman watching people do fuged up poo along with us. They'll replace him with some "TV host" type person.

About the only time I enjoyed Fear Factor was when Tyrone Biggums won.

Dammit! This was what I was going to say....never watched the show, but I did watch Tyrone Biggums on it

"This isn't the first time I've tasted penis Joe Rogan" :lol:

"In my line of work, we eat penises all the time."

"Gotta play to win."

"Baby, I got you that rock you've always wanted."

Oh, my god, Tyrone, this could last us.....

I know, hours.

"Remember what the Bible says: He who is without sin, cast the first rock. And I shall smoketh it."

      lmao that's a good point; but at the same time I think and HOPE Canales learned from how he operated last year, only giving us one real look against the Bills that had people shouting 'Super Bowl'...only to come out flat.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...
