  • American Gladiators (1989-1996) was an American competition television program that matched a cast of amateur athletes against each other, as well as against the show's own "gladiators", in contests of strength and agility. The first competition sponsored by Dan Carr and John C. Ferraro was held at Erie Tech High School in Erie, PA and sold to Samuel Goldwyn Productions/MGM where the format was expanded into "American Gladiators. " The show was taped at Universal Studios Hollywood until 1991, then moved to Gladiator Arena for the rest of its initial run. The National Indoor Arena, home to the UK version, hosted the International Gladiators competitions. The series, a co-production of Trans World International and Four Point Entertainment, was distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Television. An effort to launch a live American Gladiators show on the Las Vegas Strip became mired in a securities fraud prosecution. However, the series was restarted in 2008. This version of the show currently airs in the USA on ESPN Classic, and several episodes have been made available for download on Apple's iTunes Service.
  • American Gladiators war eine TV Show, die zwischen 1989 und 1996 lief. Es war eine sportliche Game Show, in der die Teilnehmer (zwei Männer und zwei Frauen) in verschiedenen Spielen gegen Profiathleten antraten. Die Champions am Ende einer jeden Staffel gewannen ein Preispaket mit einem neuen Auto, einem Urlaub und Geld (normalerweise über $100.000 insgesamt). Die Disziplinen waren oft ziemlich außergewöhnlich und ausgeklügelt, mit Herausforderungen, welche Dinge wie Hochseile, Stahlkäfige, Schwingseile und andere Hindernisse darboten. Produziert wurde das Format im Auftrag von NBC Television von den Produktionsfirmen „Four Point Entertainment“ und „Trans World International“. Anfang 2008 sendete der amerikanische Fernsehsender NBC Television eine Neuauflage des Formates. Die Staffel startete am Sonntag, dem 6. Februar und wurde von sieben Folgen zur Montags Primetime komplementiert. Seit dem 12. Mai 2008 wird die zweite Staffel der Neuauflage ausgestrahlt. Beteiligte Produktionsfirmen sind „Reveille“ und „MGM Worldwide TV“. Die Gastgeber sind Hulk Hogan und Laila Ali. Rico Constantino, der Finalist der Staffel 1990/91, wurde später unter dem Namen „Rico“ Profi-Wrestler in der WWE.
