The New American Gladiators Show Names A Host, Brother!

Wednesday, October 03, 2007


Everyone knows that they're bringing American Gladiators back on NBC right? Right. Well today they announced one of the show's hosts....

Professional wrestler and VH1 reality show star Hulk Hogan has signed on to host NBC’s upcoming remake of “American Gladiators,” sources say.

Hogan made the rounds at NBC’s Burbank offices last week and has accepted the job. The deal is still being finalized, but sources say both parties are committed.

NBC sees Hogan as “the perfect fit” for the “Gladiators” revival, sources say. In addition to his experience as a physical performer during his years with the World Wrestling Federation, Hogan has proved he can draw viewers with sheer force of personality in his successful VH1 reality series “Hogan Knows Best.”
Hell yeah! What are you going to do when Hulkmania, Blazer, Lazer, Tazer, and their tennis ball cannon run wild on you?!?!?!

Eh... Part of the draw of Gladiators was Adamle and Csonka acting like they were covering a real sport.

Sort of why the "Airplane" movies work, but most of the newer ripoffs don't.

It's funnier when you see serious actors like Peter Graves and Lloyd Bridges playing the lines straight, instead of having somebody like Jon Lovitz play it for cheap laughs.

Last time I saw Adamle he was doing the Saturday afternoon RAYCOM college football halftime shows with John Cooper. It sucked.

Hulk Hogan and Gene Simmons will do anything for a buck.

Is there a link to the commercial? I saw it last night during the Eagles vs Patriots game.
My Nephew is one of the new Gladiators and it's hard finding info on it.
