Beginning with the fourth season in 2012, regional finalists and wild card competitors competed on a nearly identical Mount Midoriyama course in Las Vegas, Nevada, rather than traveling to Japan to compete on Sasuke. Hosts and co-hosts American Ninja Warrior was originally hosted by G4 's American television personality Blair Herter, and actress and former television correspondent Alison Haislip. In the second season, American actor, comedian, and television host Matt Iseman joined the show, replacing Herter. Additionally, Jimmy Smith was brought in as a co-host, while Haislip was the sideline reporter. The panel remained the same throughout season three. For season 4, skier Jonny Moseley was brought in as the new co-host, replacing Smith. American journalist, sportscaster, and documentary filmmaker Angela Sun replaced Haislip. For season 5, two newcomers were added. Sports analyst and former NFL football player Akbar Gbaja - Biamila replaced Moseley, while ESPN sportscaster and model Jenn Brown replaced Sun as sideline reporter. The season five panel remained the same through the sixth season. For season 7, CBS Sports reporter Kristine Leahy joined the show as the new sideline reporter, replacing Brown. The roster stayed the same through season 9. The current panel consists of Iseman, Gbaja - Biamila, and Leahy.

Over 3,500 athletes have attempted to conquer Mount Midoriyama and become an American Ninja Warrior since the series began in 2009. Contestant eligibility There are some requirements possible contestants have to meet before participating at a regional qualifier. Contestants must be legal residents of the US and be in decent physical shape. There is no upper age limit, but participants must be at least 21 years old. Contestants have to fill out a 20 - page questionnaire and make a video about themselves. The required length of the video has differed over the years. Submission video length requirements have varied from 2 to 8 minutes, depending on the season. Producers select 100 applicants from each region to participate in their regional qualifiers. Producers also select 20 to 30 `` walk - ons '' who in some cases wait for weeks camping outside to get a chance on the course. 1,000 people applied to compete in season one, 5,000 people in season 6, 50,000 in season 7, and 70,000 in season 8. City qualifying In each city, the competitors the producers have selected competing on a 6 - obstacle course in hopes of making it to the city finals. The top 30 finishers make it to the city finals. Also, in Season 9, the top 5 women make it. The first obstacle is the quintuple steps or the floating steps and is the same for the rest of the cities for that season. Then comes an obstacle that moves along tracks. Next is either a balance obstacle or an upper - body obstacle. The other type will be fourth. Fifth is usually a grip obstacle, and sixth is the Warped Wall. In Season 9, the balance or the grip obstacle is an obstacle previously found in Stage 1 of Mount Midoryama. The obstacles are given by the sideline reporter at the beginning of every episode.

Small prizes ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 are awarded to first, second, and third finishers who complete the finals course. Mount Midoriyama Mount Midoriyama is the finals course for American Ninja Warrior. Located on the Las Vegas strip, it consists of four stages, each containing various obstacles of increasing difficulty. Competitors must complete all of the 23 obstacles. Should they complete the first three stages, competitors will advance to Stage 4, where competitors attempt to climb the 75 - foot rope climb, known as Mount Midoriyama, in 30 seconds or less. Should a competitor achieve Total Victory, he or she receives a money prize of $500,000 from season 4 to season 6, and $1,000,000 from season 7. Beginning in season 8, if multiple competitors complete stage 4, the competitors split the prize money, although in prior years the fastest competitor would receive the full amount. Stage 1 consists of obstacles that test the competitors ' agility and speed. The first stage is timed, and only the competitors who successfully complete it within the time limit of 2 : 30 advance to Stage 2. Stage 2 consists of obstacles that test the competitors ' strength and speed. Competitors must complete challenges that strain their upper - body strength ( such as the Salmon Ladder ) without running out of time. Just as in the first stage, only the competitors who successfully finish within the time limit of 4 : 00 move on to Stage 3. Stage 3 consists of obstacles that test the competitors ' upper body and grip strength. It is the only stage in Mt. Midoriyama that has no time limit. Like Stages 1 and 2, only the competitors who successfully complete Stage 3 move on. Stage 4 of Mt. Midoriyama is a 75 - foot rope climb. Competitors must complete the rope climb and hit the buzzer in under 30 seconds. Series overview and season synopses This section needs additional citations for verification.

( October 2015 ) Season 1 ( 2009 ) The first season of American Ninja Warrior was held in Los Angeles, where hundreds of competitors came to challenge themselves against the course and qualify for a shot at making it to Japan to compete in Sasuke 23 later in the year. The special premiered on December 12, 2009, on G4 TV and was hosted by G4 's Blair Herter and Alison Haislip. Notable competitors this season included freerunners Levi Meeuwenberg and Brian Orosco, mixed martial artist Jason `` Mayhem '' Miller, and Hollywood stuntman Rich King. Out of the ten Americans who qualified to compete at Mount Midori in Japan, only Rich King, Levi Meeuwenberg and Brian Orosco successfully completed Stage 1. The majority of the American Ninja Warrior competitors ran out of time or failed the obstacles. Levi Meeuwenberg was the only American competitor to complete Stage 2. The sole American competitor on Stage 3, he fell on the `` Shin - Cliffhanger '', and his run came to an end. Season 2 ( 2010 ) Main article : American Ninja Warrior ( season 2 ) The second season premiered on December 8, 2010, on G4 and concluded on January 2, 2011. It began in Venice Beach, California, where 300 competitors took on the course. The 15 semi-finalists moved on to the `` Ninja Warrior Boot Camp '' in the remote California mountains, where they competed in a series of team challenges. Then the finalists moved on to compete in the season finale of American Ninja Warrior 2 as a part of Sasuke 26 at Mount Midori in Japan. No competitor made it beyond Stage 3. Season 3 ( 2011 ) Main article : American Ninja Warrior ( season 3 ) The third season began airing on July 31, 2011, on G4 and concluded with the finale airing on August 22, 2011, as a two - hour primetime special on NBC. Tryouts took place in May 2011 at Venice Beach, California. After the tryouts, the top 15 competitors competed in Ninja Warrior Boot Camp with the top 10 moving on to Japan for the finals of the competition as a part of Sasuke 27 and a chance at becoming the first American to conquer the course and win a $500,000 endorsement deal with K - Swiss. No competitors made it beyond Stage 3. Season 4 ( 2012 ) Main article : American Ninja Warrior ( season 4 ) The fourth season of American Ninja Warrior began airing on May 20, 2012, on both G4 and NBC. There were six regional competitions held in three locations : Venice Beach ( Southwest and Northwest ), Dallas ( Midwest and Midsouth ), and Miami ( Northeast and Southeast ), that determined the 100 competitors to participate in the qualifying rounds. The winner of the ANW season 4 competition would receive $500,000 and the coveted `` American Ninja Warrior '' title. The season finale, held in Las Vegas, was the first time that Mount Midori was held on U.S. soil. Submission videos for American Ninja Warrior season 4 had been collected since January 25, 2012. The entire format was changed as well -- regional qualifiers in different parts of the country were aired, and the Mt. Midori course was recreated just off the Las Vegas Strip for the national finals. The regional qualifiers would narrow down its selections down to 30 contestants who finished its qualifying course in the fastest time as well as the contestants who finished the furthest the fastest. Qualifying obstacles would include common Stage 1 obstacles such as the Quintuple steps and the Warped wall, but its contents would change from city to city. The 30 contestants were then cut in half in the regional finals where the course would extend to include common Stage 2 and Stage 3 obstacles such as the Salmon Ladder, Cliffhanger and Body Prop. The 90 contestants who qualified ( including wild cards ) earned tickets to Las Vegas to challenge Mt. Midori. Brent Steffensen was the first American to defeat the Ultimate Cliffhanger on Stage 3, and he made it the farthest that season, falling on the Hang Climb. He was the only competitor to reach Stage 3 in this competition. Season 5 ( 2013 ) Main article : American Ninja Warrior ( season 5 ) The fifth season of American Ninja Warrior premiered on June 30, 2013, on G4 with subsequent shows airing on NBC and G4. Notably, the sideboard advertising along the course listed Esquire Network as the broadcaster as the fifth season was to premiere after G4 's transition to Esquire on April 22, 2013. The network switch was eventually delayed to September 23, 2013, and Esquire took over Style Network 's channel space instead. Because of this, additional reruns of the season aired on Saturday nights on NBC through the summer to maintain ratings momentum due to G4 's lame duck status, with ANW being their only new program since they wound down all their original programming in January 2013. The success of the NBC re-airings led to the series being considered for NBC 's main summer schedule for the next season. Regional competitions were held in Venice Beach, Baltimore, Miami, and Denver. Tryouts for the season began in February 2013 and ended with the last of the regional rounds taking place the following May. The finale was once again held in Las Vegas. No one defeated Stage 3, but Brian Arnold fell on the last obstacle, the Flying Bar, making him the farthest - going American on the Mount Midori course since Kane Kosugi reached the final stage on Sasuke 8. Season 6 ( 2014 ) Main article : American Ninja Warrior ( season 6 ) The sixth season of American Ninja Warrior premiered on May 26, 2014, on NBC with subsequent shows airing on Monday nights at 9 : 00 pm EST and Tuesday nights at 8 : 00 pm EST on Esquire Network. Regional competitions were held at Venice Beach, Dallas, St. Louis, Miami, and Denver. The season finale was again held in Las Vegas, the permanent home of the U.S. version of Mount Midori. Notable competitors this season included The Biggest Loser personal trainer Kim Lyons, U.S. Olympic gymnasts Jonathan Horton and Terin Humphrey, among others. Female competitor Kacy Catanzaro became the first female to make it up the `` Warped Wall '' in the Dallas Qualifiers. Later in the Dallas Finals, she became the first woman to complete that finals course, in 8 minutes, 59 seconds. Again, no competitor achieved `` total victory ''. Kacy 's run has over ten million views. Joe Moravsky, the `` Weatherman '', made it farther than anyone on Season 6, falling on the Hang Climb, where Brent Steffensen failed two years ago. Season 7 ( 2015 ) Main article : American Ninja Warrior ( season 7 ) The seventh season of American Ninja Warrior premiered on NBC on May 25, 2015. This season 's grand prize was increased from $500,000 to $1,000,000. Qualifying and finals courses were held in Venice Beach, Kansas City, Houston, Orlando, Pittsburgh, as well as a special military - only course in San Pedro. Stage 1 had a total of 38 finishers including Brent Steffensen and Dustin McKinney. In Stage 2, 30 of the 38 competitors failed. Only eight were remaining in Stage 3 including Drew Dreschel, Abel Gonzalez, Isaac Caldiero, Ian Dory, Jeremiah Morgan, Kevin Bull, Joe Moravsky and Geoff Britten. Only two competitors finished the course : Isaac Caldiero and Geoff Britten. It was the first time that any American had finished Stage 3. The season concluded with a victory : Geoff Britten was the first to complete Stage 4 with a second remaining ; however, Isaac Caldiero achieved the Stage 4 rope climb in a faster time and was awarded the grand prize of $1,000,000 and the title of `` American Ninja Warrior ''. Geoff Britten was the first Ninja to complete all six courses in a single season. Season 8 ( 2016 ) Main article : American Ninja Warrior ( season 8 ) Season 8 of American Ninja Warrior began on June 1, 2016, on NBC, with encore episodes airing the following day on Esquire Network. Regional competitions were held in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Oklahoma City, and Philadelphia, with 28 new obstacles. Over 40 percent more women registered for season 8 compared to the previous season. Additionally, prize money for possible Stage 4 winners would now be split equally among competitors who complete the rope climb in under 30 seconds. In Philadelphia 's city finals, no competitors completed the finals course, a first in American Ninja Warrior history. In Stage 1 of the National Finals, many veterans of the show such as Geoff Britten and Brent Steffensen were eliminated early, while Jessie Graff became the first woman to complete Stage 1, placing fifth. Tyler Yamauchi became the shortest person ever to complete the Jumping Spider obstacle at 5'1 ``. Only 17 competitors successfully completed Stage 1, the lowest in ANW history. On Stage 2, all athletes were eliminated except Drew Drechsel and Daniel Gil. During Stage 3, both Drechsel and Gil could not complete the course. Gil fell on the Ultimate Cliffhanger, while Drechsel went the farthest, but fell on the Hang Climb. Contrary to season 7 's multiple winners, no season 8 competitor was even able to complete Stage 3. Season 9 ( 2017 ) Main article : American Ninja Warrior ( season 9 ) Season 9 of American Ninja Warrior began on June 12, 2017, on NBC ; Esquire Network ended over-the - air operations fifteen days later on June 27, thus encore episodes shifted over to NBCSN on non-event nights with this season.
