  • - AS YOU CAN TELL FROM THE SCAFFOLDING BEHIND ME,

  • WE'RE EITHER ABOUT TO SHOOT A PAULA ABDUL MUSIC VIDEO

  • OR IT'S TIME FOR OUR "AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR"

  • PARKING LOT CHALLENGE.

  • [dramatic music]

  • FIRST, LET'S MEET OUR CONTESTANTS.

  • FROM THE VERY FUNNY SHOW "MOM" ON CBS,

  • ALLISON JANNEY AND ANNA FARIS ARE HERE.

  • [cheers and applause]

  • WHAT KIND OF PREPARATION, ALLISON,

  • HAVE YOU BEEN DOING FOR THIS COURSE?

  • - THIS IS ABOUT IT RIGHT HERE. - THAT'S IT?

  • - JUST--NO, I DID GET TO DO A PRACTICE RUN.

  • - YOU DID.

  • - DID NOT MAKE IT THROUGH ALL OF IT.

  • I'M NOT GONNA LIE. BUT--

  • SOME THINGS I DID BETTER THAN OTHERS.

  • - IT'S HARDER THAN YOU WOULD EXPECT.

  • ANNA?

  • - PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING

  • IS UNBELIEVABLY DIFFICULT.

  • BUT I'VE GOT A STRATEGY. - GOOD.

  • WELL, YOU'RE WEARING BLACK, AND THAT SHOULD HELP.

  • - I'M WEARING BLACK.

  • TIGHT CLOTHES SEEM TO HELP SOMEHOW.

  • - YEAH, ALL RIGHT. HOLDS ALL YOUR ORGANS IN?

  • [both laugh] THAT'S GREAT.

  • ALL RIGHT, WELL, WHY DON'T YOU HEAD OFF OVER THERE

  • AND GET READY TO START THE COURSE.

  • - OH, I'M EXCITED. I'M EXCITED. I'M EXCITED.

  • - YOU PICKED IT UP A LOT FASTER THAN I DID, I'LL TELL YOU THAT.

  • - I'VE BEEN TRAINING FOR THREE WEEKS

  • JUST TO LEARN HOW TO SAY AKBAR'S NAME.

  • IT'S A FUN FACT.

  • IF YOU REARRANGE THE LETTERS IN AKBAR'S NAME,

  • IT SPELLS "AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR."

  • [laughter]

  • ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S GO OVER THE OBSTACLES ON TODAY'S COURSE,

  • BECAUSE WE DID MODIFY THEM.

  • I THOUGHT WE COULD MAKE THEM EASIER.

  • IT'S THE QUINTUPLE STEPS OVER HERE, RIGHT?

  • - YEP, YEP.

  • - THEN WE HAVE THE CAT GRAB RIGHT AFTER IT.

  • - FOLLOWED BY THE DANCING STONES.

  • - OH.

  • - NOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT ON THESE FIRST THREE

  • IS A LOT OF AGILITY THAT'S GONNA BE REQUIRED

  • OUT OF THESE LADIES.

  • - AND CORE. - CORE STRENGTH FOR SURE.

  • - YEAH. THEN? - THEN YOU HAVE THE SWING JUMP.

  • AND THE SWING JUMP, NOW, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE

  • A LITTLE BIT OF THAT CHILDHOOD--

  • BEING ON THE PLAYGROUND. - GETTING--

  • - GETTING THAT MOMENTUM GOING. ALL ABOUT THE MOMENTUM.

  • - ROCK INTO IT, AND THEN MAKE THE LEAP ONTO THE NET.

  • - AS HIGH AS YOU CAN, RIGHT? - GOOD LUCK THEN.

  • - ABSOLUTELY. - THEN WE'VE GOT THE INFAMOUS--

  • - GET 'EM, MATT. - THE WARPED WALL.

  • ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC OBSTACLES

  • IN ALL OF "AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR."

  • - NOW WE'RE GONNA HEAD TO THE ANNOUNCER'S BOOTH

  • AND WE'RE GONNA GET STARTED. OKAY? ALL RIGHT.

  • - LET'S DO IT. - LET'S GO. LET'S GO.

  • - ALL RIGHT, ALLISON, LET'S GET GOING.

  • - THIS IS WHERE REAL CHAMPS ARE MADE.

  • - AND A GREAT START THERE. A GREAT LEAP.

  • THAT HAD TO BE 2 FEET THERE.

  • - WE NEED TO FINISH THIS TODAY, ALLISON.

  • - OH, THEY'RE HELPING EACH OTHER.

  • - I LIKE THIS. - UP. THERE THEY GO.

  • JANNEY WITH A STRONG, ATHLETIC BACKGROUND HERE.

  • OLYMPIC-CALIBER SKATER.

  • - YEAH, THAT REALLY HELPS YOU WITH THE LEGS.

  • - SHE TAKES THE ZUMBA CLASSES

  • EVERY TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY NIGHT IN GLENDALE.

  • THAT'LL HELP HER.

  • KEEP GOING, ANNA.

  • ALL RIGHT.

  • - THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, ALLISON.

  • - GET UP THERE, ANNA.

  • ALL RIGHT.

  • - I LOVE THIS APPROACH.

  • - ANNA--THE DANCING STONES, ANNA WILL HAVE AN ADVANTAGE.

  • SHE HAS 12 TOES, SO SHE SHOULD BE ABLE TO--

  • - BUT THIS IS VERY TRICKY. - ALL RIGHT.

  • - IT'S KIND OF LIKE WALKING ON BOBBLEHEADS.

  • - YES, IT IS--IT'S GOOD.

  • IT'S CORE STRENGTH AND BALANCE AND--

  • - JANNEY WITH THOSE LONG LEGS. - GREAT ADVANTAGE.

  • - I THINK SOME OF THIS IS ILLEGAL,

  • WHAT ALLISON IS DOING, BUT SHE'S ON IT,

  • SO IT DOESN'T MATTER.

  • - ANNA'S ON HER OWN NOW.

  • - LOOK AT THAT!

  • - ALL RIGHT. - OKAY.

  • - THERE IT IS. JANNEY. THERE IT IS.

  • OH!

  • - HELLO, MOM.

  • - FANTASTIC SUCCESS OUT OF THE WOMEN OF "MOM."

  • - ALLISON, I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE--

  • I HAD TO DO IT. - LOOK WHAT YOU DID.

  • YOU HELPED HER UP THIS WALL.

  • IT'S SO IMPRESSIVE, AND THIS IS SO HIGH UP.
