American Gladiators is an American competition TV show that aired on NBC and Citytv in Canada.

It is a remake of the original series of the same name which ran from 1989 to 1996, with elements of the British version of the 1990s. The show was refereed by Al Kaplon, a former American League umpire, who can also be seen as the referee in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.[2] Play-by-play narration was handled by Van Earl Wright.
