When Berman Got His "American Gladiators" On

LeitchLeitch|published: Tue 24th April, 19:00 2007

So back in 1993, a would-be "reality" television show called "Conquer Fort Boyard" aired its pilot on ABC. It appears to be a half-"Survivor," half-"American Gladiators" type show, with a bunch of people jumping and climbing things.

It is also hosted by Cathy Lee Crosby and ... your friend and ours Chris Berman.


So: Watch! As Berman attempts to make uncomfortable forced banter with Crosby! Marvel! As our man does his best to avoid making an Eagles reference! Gasp! As the YWML hero is literally lowered from a helicopter!

The full details of the show can be found here. Oh, and, obviously: Berman bagged Crosby. Clearly.
