NBC is planning to air a special The Incredible Hulk-themed episode of American Gladiators featuring guest star Lou Ferrigno sharing the arena with host Hulk Hogan.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ferrigno played the bulky green avenger in the 1970s TV series version of The Incredible Hulk. American Gladiators episode will include a hulked-out Gladiator Arena and an exclusive 60-second preview from the upcoming movie The Incredible Hulk.
The episode airs June 9; the film opens four days later. At the movie's premiere, gladiator Titan will walk the red carpet.
About 1,000 pairs of Hulk Hands will be given to audience members to wear throughout the episode, and some also will wear Hulk masks. Gladiators will likewise use Hulk Hands while competing in the Gauntlet.
The arena's water will look green. Titan will be green. There will be green lighting, green graphics, green balls for Powerball. Pretty much everything will be green.
