Hulk Hogan Takes 'Gladiators' Gig
Ben Silverman's love affair with the 1980s continues.
The NBC co-chief has tapped wrestling icon Hulk Hogan to host NBC's upcoming "American Gladiators" revival. The TV series is in production for a midseason debut (Daily Variety, Aug. 23).
Hogan shot to fame during the 1980s via his appearances in World Wrestling Federation matches. He also had roles in pics such as "Rocky III" and "No Holds Barred." More recently, he's starred in the VH1 unscripted comedy "Hogan Knows Best."
Silverman has shown a fondness for retro programming. "Gladiators" hails from the 1980s, as does "Knight Rider," the NBC series Silverman is bringing back as a two-hour backdoor pilot. |
