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."

      Daniel Jeremiah mocks KC Concepcion to the #Panthers 👏👏👏

      By Basbear · Posted

      The truth is @CarolinaLivin posted it and I took notice at the names and drove into the rabbit hole, just happen it lead to Plebbit. One of my favorite draft gurus loves KC, just that he's around other panther WRs that have struggled..I mean Im about the only XL supporter leftd. Im like 50/50, but honestly haven't done enough to feel strong either. The drop and zone stuff is not what I like the weakness to be, but he is explosive, play all 3 WR spots, and does have playmaking skills which is rare. Right now I wouldn't be upset if panthers used the 51st. Months ago I told the huddle to prepare for a early WR selection.

      Is Chubba on the Trading Block?

      I appreciate the optimism but there's no way in hell anyone is going to give us a 2nd or a 3rd. We'd legitimately be lucky to get a 5th. Logically it really makes no sense to move him this season anyways. We do know he is a high character guy and should be extra motivated to bounce back from last season. See how it goes and revisit next year.

      First Round Poll: Position Drafted

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I would add that it is probably likely that you need a T during the season--I am wildly speculating that they like something about Forsythe.  However, that is not enough.  We need 4 players who can play OT in the NFL---we have 3. That suggests that we are going to add an OT at some point.  Perhaps related, but probably a pure depth move: Brady Christensen is an interesting situation. He is likely to miss the first 2 months of the 2026 season, and he will be 30.  He can play all OL positions.  That would give depth when it is usually most needed--the last half of the season.  With his injury, I doubt his phone is ringing much.  I think I would offer a 2-year deal (1.5 if you want to be realistic) for the vet minimum.
