Actor Wil Wheaton (Stand By Me, Star Trek: The Next Generation) has transformed his passion for all things geek into a successful career as a writer and performer. He hosts the gaming series TableTop on the Geek & Sundry network and regularly performs with musical comedy act Paul and Storm and Mythbusters‘ Adam Savage at w00tstock.
But after only a 12 episode run, Syfy has chosen to cancel The Wil Wheaton Project. Modeled after shows like Talk Soup, the half hour show highlighted the best and worst of science fiction in TV, movies, and the Internet. Although heavily promoted by Wheaton and his fans on the Internet, the show just didn't have the high numbers ratings executives wanted, so it was canceled.
Wheaton took the high road and thanked everyone involved at SyFy for the opportunity, and we're sure to see him again in guest appearances on shows like The Big Bang Theory, or even Sharknado 3! Oh wait, he was eaten during the second one.
