When did American Ninja Warrior first air?

It’s “First/Final Week” right here at American Ninja Warrior Nation. So we requested ourselves, “When did the present first air?”

That answer is December 12, 2009.

American Ninja Warrior (not the predecessor American Ninja Challange) made its debut on the G4 channel simply in time for the 2009 holidays. Actually, it was a present to us all.

That makes December 12 American Ninja Warrior’s birthday (kind of). We simply missed the present’s eleventh birthday by a month! (11 years, 12 seasons.)

Nicely blissful belated birthday, American Ninja Warrior. The present is in good firm. In response to Google, listed below are a number of the different well-known people who have been born on December 12.

American Ninja Warrior first aired on December 12, 2009. Hopefully, it’s a really very long time earlier than we discover out what it’s “final” airdate is likely to be. Might that be years and years away!
