This 52-Year-Old Became the Oldest Man to Finish the ‘American Ninja Warrior’ Finals Course

It’s hard to top Kacy Catanzaro’s historic run as the first woman to ever finish the American Ninja Warrior finals course, but 52-year-old Jon Stewart becoming the oldest person to ever accomplish the same feat is certainly a close second. Up next, for Stewart and the rest of they finalists, comes a trip to Las Vegas to attempt to climb Mt. Midoriyama, something no American has ever done.

I’ve been watching ANW for the last few years — because summer TV sucks and apparently I like feeling bad about myself — and although this season ranks at the top in terms of parody, I have serious doubts that we’ll actually see someone conquer Mt. Midoriyama.
