NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NBC and POM Wonderful® today announced their partnership for the eighth
season of “American Ninja Warrior.” POM returns as partner of “American
Ninja Warrior” for a second year featuring on-air integrations, a

“We are thrilled that POM Wonderful® is returning to ‘American Ninja
Warrior,’ one of our strongest summer series, for a second season

Partnerships, NBCUniversal. “This partnership shows how a like-minded,
health driven brand like POM can tap into the value of a strong
franchise like “American Ninja Warrior” and create deep connections with
it’s passionate fan base.

During each episode of the season-long partnership, POM® branding will
be integrated throughout the episode, including the “POM Crazy Healthy

jaw-dropping feats of strength, agility and speed navigating the
obstacle course and POM® “Post Run Interviews” to keep up with
contestants behind the scenes. Additionally, on-air spots promoting
POM’s “Crazy Healthy” campaign will run weekly during “American Ninja
Warrior” episode airings.

“American Ninja Warriors know the power of antioxidants in POM’s 100%
Pomegranate Juice and we want to inspire warriors and their fans to get
crazy healthy with our premium 100% Pomegranate Juice,” said Dominic
Engels, president, POM Wonderful. “The ongoing partnership between
American Ninja Warrior and POM Wonderful allows POM to enter into the
world of sports performance and reach athletes on the show and at home.”

Viewers can get Crazy Healthy with the first American Ninja Warrior
champion, Isaac Caldiero, by entering POM Wonderful’s online
sweepstakes, “Train Like a Crazy Healthy Ninja.” One grand prize winner
will be selected for a trip to Venice Beach, Calif. to train alongside
Isaac, win $10,000 to support a Crazy Healthy lifestyle, and a one-year
supply of POM. From June 1 to September 12, 2016, fans can enter online
at NBC.com/POM. In addition, fans can watch videos of Isaac’s Crazy
Healthy Training tips on POM’s Facebook page beginning in mid-June. New

“To train like a Crazy Healthy Ninja you have to drink like one too,”
said Isaac Caldiero, the first American Ninja Warrior champion. “POM
Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice is a good source of potassium to help
maintain healthy muscles and helps refuel my inner champion with

at the next level.”

The action-packed “American Ninja Warrior” series follows competitors as
they tackle a series of challenging obstacle courses in both city
qualifying and city finals rounds across the country. Those who
successfully complete the finals course in their designated region move
on to the national finals round in Las Vegas, where they face a stunning
four-stage course modeled after the famed Mt. Midoriyama course in
Japan. The winner will take home a grand prize of $1,000,000. Caldiero
is the first grand prize winner of “American Ninja Warrior.” Matt Iseman
