NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neill’s new reality show premiered on ABC Tuesday night, and according to the New York Times, the giant failed to conquer in the Nielsen ratings.

“Shaq Vs.” drew just 4.3 million viewers, lagging behind NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” – which won the night – as well as CBS’s “Big Brother” and Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen.”
