NBC won't air the questionable "Fear Factor" episode featuring a stunt that required contestants to drink donkey semen — with a glass of urine as a chaser — originally slated for Monday night, it's being reported.
When the revamped version of classic fright-fest "Fear Factor" returned to NBC, the promos promised a show set to rival its former incarnation — the scares would be scarier and the gross-outs would be grosser.
That became evident when "Fear Factor's" intended finale episode recently vanished from TV listings.
The move to cut the episode, which was first reported by TMZ, will come as no surprise to host Joe Rogan, who was already well aware that NBC had reservations about the stunt.
"They’re not even sure if they’re going to air it," Rogan told Entertainment Weekly weeks ago. "It’s so over the top and ridiculous. When they told me, I really thought they were joking at first. I don’t know where the debate is, but NBC is not sure if they’re going to air it.”
In lieu of the dropped episode, fans will be treated to a rerun of the creepy-crawly-filled "Snake Bite" episode on Monday night.
