American Gladiators burst onto TV screens in September 1989 as a syndicated show created by Johnny Ferraro and Dan Carr. The concept was inspired by ancient Roman spectacles but modernized for average contestants facing muscular “Gladiators” in events like Powerball, Joust, and Assault for seven seasons until 1996, featuring spandex outfits and names like Nitro, Malibu, and Zap. A 2008 NBC revival, hosted by Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali, but it would only last for two seasons.
