Any ideas?

The funFactLabel should be a UILabel not a UIView.

Inside you view controller you should have declared it as such:

@IBOutlet weak var funFactLabel: UILabel!

Your main storyboard should have a label dragged onto it and a link created to the view controller by dragging the connection with your mouse.

I hope that helps!

Steve.
