More Gladiators coming to TV this fall - VIDEO

SeacrestDo you like American Gladiators? How about a version that has kids competing instead of adults?

That was a concept of Gladiators 2000, a spinoff of the original version of American Gladiators. It aired for a couple of years in the mid-1990s (which is odd, considering it had "2000" in the title - maybe they were optimistic), and now it's coming back to syndicated television because of the success of NBC's remake of the original AG. If you don't remember the show, it was a little bit like the Nickelodeon show Guts. Contestants would engage in all these tests of strength and speed and accuracy while at the same time learning why carrots were good for you and too much pizza wasn't.

The real gem about the video clip from the show (after the jump) isn't the game itself, it's the host -- American Idol host Ryan Seacrest co-hosted the show. Check out his hair

dang, i would kill a man to have ryan seacrest's hair!

the obvious choice of man to kill would be seacrest himself, so i could just take it off his dead head and glue it to mine.

Damn. Now my lazyass that never wanted to look him up on IMDB knows why he always seemed so familiar. Yeah, I watched the show. Like the original, I always felt the teenage version was too soft. It's nice to see people actually get roughed up a little on the new Gladiators. I hate the idea of teams and learning with my Gladiator action. Isn't it about time we saw some kids fed to lions and stuff on national television?
