The new American Gladiators is a hit on NBC, with a new crew of gladiators and Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali as presenters, and its second season has just gotten underway. Part of the show's appeal is not just the contestants and the gladiators, but Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali as the colorful presenters.
Titan (Michael O'Hearn) on having Laila Ali as one of the hosts of American Gladiators: "I mean, Laila Ali, the daughter of Muhammad Ali - incredible to have someone there, and she's you know, she's a real fighter, she's a one hundred percent real badass. And she's just a sweetheart. So I think having these people that were in the sports industry now being hosts is a tremendous benefit to us relative to somebody that was just a host before coming in. There are people that have actually been in the arena, been doing it, know what it's like to fight and get out there and mix it up."
Crush (Gina Carano) on Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali: "Yeah, people just love Hulk and the character that he brings. And then, and Laila is, she just cracks me up. I just love watching her and her little comments and all. She's really quick-witted and I think they both do an awesome job."
American Gladiators airs Monday nights on NBC at 8:00 p.m.
