American Ninja Warrior Airs Tonight!

The new American Ninja Warrior airs tonight on G4 with 3 one-hour back-to-back-to-back episodes that should cover the opening round and the semifinals that went down in Venice Beach back in August (check your local listings for the exact time this evening, it varies). G4 has really put a lot of production and marketing muscle behind this second season of American Ninja Warrior, and is really hoping that it captures audiences’ hearts and imagination and it becomes a lead brand for their channel. Tune in to check it out, and be sure to let your friends know if you enjoy it (G4 will undoubtedly be re-airing it often).

Competing in American Ninja Warrior this summer was a great thrill, and I’m more than curious to see if my run is featured in the show. Not so much for the vanity of seeing myself on TV, which I’m sure would be kinda cool and make my kids happy, but more because I think whether they show me or not will be a strong indicator of whether I get to go back to compete next year. If they show me, then they like my “character” (39 year old plus-sized father-of-three) and would most likely accept me back next year. If they don’t show me, then they’ve probably passed on my “character” and might not be so interested in having me compete again, which would be a huge bummer. Plus, I’ll kinda look like an ass for having talked about it so much and then not even make the show 😉 And I’m not ready to give up on the dream!
