Jeers: Without a Tracy | Cheers & Jeers | 7/10/2008
Jeers to Tracy Morgan for slumming it as the new host of Scare Tactics. You're one of the stars of TV's best comedy, 30 Rock — why are you following in the D-list footsteps of Shannen Doherty and Stephen Baldwin by introducing the mean, gory stunts on Sci Fi's prank show? I know, it's a paycheck, but at least you could make it sound like you're not reading your lines for the first time as you're being filmed. I guess I shouldn't be surprised: This is the same guy who announced the winner on NBC's supercheesy Clash of the Choirs. Now, that's scary. • Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine! read more
Satan's Baby Delivered on Scare Tactics | Today's Top Videos | 7/9/2008
The Punk'd-meets-horror reality show Scare Tactics is back with an all new season, and this first clip of a woman petrified by what appears to be the spawn of Satan (horns and all) is absolutely priceless. It's almost as good as the classic skit about the PETA activist encountering a mutant rat-boy. So why is it so compelling to see innocent people nearly wet their pants out of sheer fright? New host Tracy Morgan explains it best in three words: "Fear is funny!" Watch it now! | More online videos read more

Stephen Baldwin Gives Us a Scare | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 10/6/2004
When we heard that Stephen Baldwin was replacing Shannen Doherty as host of Sci Fi Channel's Scare Tactics (starting with the reality hit's third-season premiere tonight at 10 pm/ET), we came down with the giggles, not the jitters. But, as Alec, Billy and Daniel's brother tells TV Guide Online, the job doesn't call for him to be frightening, just himself. "You have to have a certain sick sense of humor to get the show. That's why [I think the producers] called me. They said, 'The show has ... read more

Premise: Terrifying practical jokes are staged on unsuspecting victims in a hidden-camera series, featuring such pranks as locking a woman in a coffin, and convincing a man that he's entered a radioactive warehouse. Definitely ghoulish. But host Shannen Doherty is charmed. `There's no better way to show a friend or family member that you care than to shock the hell out of them,' she says.
