Hulk Hogan ("Hogan Knows Best") and Laila Ali
("Dancing with the Stars") host "American
Gladiators," the iconic competition series, which returns with
a fresh modern reinvention for the 21st century. Using splashy
twists including special effects, water skills and the latest
technology, the classic games will be upgraded with even higher
thrills, impact, energy and spectacle.
As in MGM's traditional "American Gladiators"
franchise, everyday amateur athletes compete against the Gladiators
in contests of physical strength and endurance. The series includes
such classic events as Joust, The Wall, Hang Tough, Powerball,
Assault, Pyramid, Gauntlet and the Eliminator along with two
brand-new events including Earthquake and Hit & Run.
"American Gladiators" is produced by MGM Television
(the original producers of the show) and Reveille (NBC's "The
Office" and "The Biggest Loser," "Nashville
Star," "Ugly Betty"). Reveille's Mark Koops, Howard
T. Owens and David A. Hurwitz ("Fear Factor") are the
executive producers alongside Flor-Jon, Films Inc.'s Johnny Ferraro,
original series creator.
