What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the NBC television network, the American Ninja Warrior TV show is hosted by Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila with Zuri Hall reporting from the sidelines. Over the run of the series, the obstacle courses continue to evolve and become even more challenging for competitors who now are as young as 15-years-old. To stay in the competition, contestants need to make it through the city qualifying rounds and semifinals. A top prize of $1 million goes to the winner that can conquer all four stages at the National Finals in Las Vegas.
 

Season 14 Ratings

The 14th season of American Ninja Warrior averaged a 0.39 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.86 million viewers. Compared to season 13, that’s down by 23% in the demo and down by 14% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how American Ninja Warrior stacks up against other NBC TV shows.
