Fox Execs on Whether Joe Rogan Will Join ‘Fear Factor’ Reboot: He’s ‘Major Talent’ Tied to the Franchise
Fox is rebooting NBC's iconic competition series "Fear Factor" -- but will it come complete with the show's iconic original host, Joe Rogan?
Along with “Fear Factor,” Fox is picking up another former NBC series for its 2025-2026 slate: The Jane Lynch-hosted “ Weakest Link.” Thorn says that, while coincidental, the two acquisitions happened on separate timelines. Per Fox, “Dropped into an unforgiving, remote location, a group of strangers will live together under one roof, and face mind-blowing stunts, harrowing challenges and a twisted game of social strategy where trust is fleeting — and fear is a weapon.” “It’s called ‘Fear Factor,’ and we’re going to take the brand name, but I think the producer has come up with a really interesting take on it, and it’s not going to feel like the show from 20 years ago,” Wade said.
