Matt Iseman’s career in medicine
The American Ninja Warrior co-host graduated from Princeton University at the top of his class.
He then went to medical school at Columbia University.
Iseman did stand-up comedy for the first time when he was in med school.
He decided to take a year off from his residency to try his hand at comedy in Los Angeles.
During his year there, he fell in love with performing and decide to purse entertainment instead of medicine.
NFL players want in
Co-host and former NFL player Akbar Gbajabiamila says professional football players often reach out to him wanting to get on the show.
“I get guys like NFL star quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers, telling me, ‘I love this show,’” he told Mental Floss.
“I get guys like Charles Woodson texting me, like, ‘Man, this is amazing.’ Other guys texting me or tweeting me, saying, ‘Look, give me your number. I want to get on this obstacle course because I think I could do it.’”

You can volunteer to test obstacles
The night before each city’s run, volunteers are selected to test the show’s obstacles.
If there are any issues, producers step in to make the necessary changes in order for the show to work as smoothly as possible.
Volunteers are not paid, but they do get to have fun on the course without the pressure of millions of people watching.
Contestant reveals show secret
While most viewers would expect the ninjas to be stretching and performing pushups in the show’s warm-up tent, Zack Eichenstein revealed what actually goes on.
“If you were to go to the warm-up tent about halfway through one of the filming nights, half the people are on blow-up mattresses, just sleeping,” he revealed.
The ninjas are “trying to just get any sleep because it’s 2am,” he said.
Eichenstein said that he brought his own blow-up mattress and slept before it was his turn to run the course.
“While I did want to stay up and watch all my friends, at the same time I knew that I would be super tight and stressful the whole time.
“You just kind of force yourself to just relax,” he said.
