Ratings Report: Lackluster Start for “Who’s Still Standing?”
Who's Still Standing? may not be standing for much longer. NBC debuted the show last night to tepid reviews at best and the ratings show it. The debut airing scored just a 3.4/5 rating with 5.6 million viewers. Fear Factor began its second week on the air and suffered from a poor lead-in. It still had a very strong showing in the key demographic, though. You Deserve It is still on the air and it somehow lost more viewers in its fifth week. And, finally, we have syndication ratings.

Joe Rogan to Host “Fear Factor” Revival
The search for the final piece of the Fear Factor revival puzzle has been found, and we're back to where we started. Original host, comedian and actor Joe Rogan, will host the updated version of NBC's popular game show. Joe hosted the show from 2001 to 2006. The revival was officially announced in June. An eight episode series will air later this season. Rogan told TV Guide, "It doesn't seem real. It seems like some sort of bizarro dream world. But I'm looking forward to it. The idea of sitting at home and watching someone else host it would have driven me crazy." Executive producer Matt Kunitz says the new series could be ready as early as September.
