Matt Iseman is the host of NBC’s hit reality competition show “American Ninja Warrior” as well as the host of the show’s spinoff, “Team Ninja Warrior,” which airs on USA Network.

Iseman, whose career journey began as a doctor before he became a host, comedian and actor, has appeared on shows such as “Clean House” and “Clean House Comes Clean,” for which he won an Emmy Award. He is also currently the main medical correspondent for the Hallmark Channel’s “Home & Family” and, in addition, he won season eight of NBC’s “The New Celebrity Apprentice.”

His ongoing battle with rheumatoid arthritis transformed him into a strong supporter of the Arthritis Foundation, the charity he represented while winning “The New Celebrity Apprentice.” Iseman also supports the American Cancer Society, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and serves as an Ambassador for the Armed Services Arts Partnership.

As a stand-up comic, Iseman has recurred on “Comics Unleashed” and is a regular on the L.A. comedy club circuit. He has traveled to Afghanistan to perform for U.S. troops.

Iseman made his movie debut in “Transformers 2” and has made appearances on the “The Drew Carey Show,” “NCIS,” “Courting Alex” and had a recurring role on “General Hospital.” He has appeared on “Premium Blend” on Comedy Central, “Comics Unleashed” with Byron Allen, “The Greg Guttfeld Show” and as a guest co-host on “Today.” His CD, I Want a Happy Ending, became an iTunes sensation. His comedy can also be heard on SiriusXM, Pandora and countless radio stations around the nation.

After graduating with honors from Princeton University and the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, where he received his medical degree, Iseman returned home to the University of Colorado for his residency in internal medicine. Then, in a move that shocked patients and parents alike, he quit his job as a doctor and moved out to Hollywood to pursue stand-up comedy and never looked back.
