'American Ninja Warrior' hosts give us a sneak peek of the Vegas finals

What happened in Vegas didn’t stay in Vegas for American Ninja Warrior. The team behind NBC’s butt-kicking reality competition took us behind the scenes for a look at the ultimate smack down — the show’s National Finals in Las Vegas. Hosts Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbaja-Biamila and sideline reporter Kristine Leahy gave Yahoo TV a sneak peek at some of the familiar faces at the finals, including newly-signed WWE star Kacy Catanzaro and three-time ANW competitor Grant McCartney. There’s also pics of some diehard fans and future ninjas, the iconic Jumping Spider, and a look at the Ninja Warrior course all lit up in the nighttime sky.
