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....
Hell yeah! What are you going to do when Hulkmania, Blazer, Lazer, Tazer, and their tennis ball cannon run wild on you?!?!?!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.”

Was Theeeeesman not available?
I smell "Heroes" and "Bionic Woman" tie ins............
If "Bionic Woman" gets that far.
Damn. I was hoping that Pat O'Brien was going to be involved.
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.
Where's Mike Adamle?
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.
Hogan is the perfect choice for this....he will bring enthusiasm and views with him...
Hey Hollywood Wags...
Mike Adamle is doing sports for CBS2 Chicago.
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.
