Johnny Knoxville hosted the Fear Factor reboot expecting to scare contestants like in Jackass, but ended up bonding with them instead. He describes himself as a "perverted life coach" and recalls the time he had to try goat semen on set, saying he enjoyed the whole thing more than anticipated.
Who was the genius that decided to put you in the new Fear Factor? Well, you know, I thought when I took the show, I'm like, oh, I can just. These people are going to be scared, and I can just make things a lot worse for them. Right. You know, I was looking at it kind of like jackass. Like, I can really make the. But then I get there, and it's like they're playing for money. And I ended up, like, bonding with them more than I thought and trying to help them through their fears. I mean, I still with them a little, but I ended up like, guys, just whatever you do, don't quit. At least try it. At least do it. Don't. And after we had one person quit, but after that, I said, please don't, and everyone at least gave it a go. So you're more like a life coach. You're helping people. I became like a really perverted life coach. Like, here I'm trying to scare him one time, and then it's like, oh, and I'm trying. Try the goat semen. It's fine. Yeah, it's fine. A little salty, but, you know, but I end up really liking the people on the. The contestants on the show. And so, yeah, it was. It was. I had a more fun than I anticipate.
