'American Ninja Warrior' 2014 National Finals: Meet The 18 Contestants Taking On Mount Midoriyama In The Season Finale [VIDEO]

Tonight is the night for “American Ninja Warrior.” After months of qualifying and city finals, fans will finally get a chance to see if anyone can make it to Stage 4 and become the first “American Ninja Warrior” as the National Finals conclude Monday night on NBC.

While fan favorites, like Kacy Catanzaro and Jon Stewart are out, 18 of the 90 National Finalists made it past Stage 1 in the past two episodes and will have their shot at Stage 2 Monday night.
