He is currently shooting a special for the History Channel in 3D called Invisible, about the world around us that we cannot see.

America's funniest Medic on call is Matt Iseman, the host of "American Ninja" for G4 - who happens to be a real doctor.

Matt has hosted the game shows Scream Play on E! and Casino Night on the GSN. He served as a cast regular on 'Clean House' and its companion 'Clean House Comes Clean', both on the Style Network. Additionally, he hosted season 2 and 3 of 'American Ninja Warrior' on the channel G4 and is heading back in January 2012.

Matt has also has appeared on The Drew Carey Show, NCIS, and General Hospital. He has appeared on the syndicated MAD TV, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, Fox’s The Best Damn Sports Show Period, and Fox News Channel’s Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld.

He is currently shooting a special for the History Channel in 3D called Invisible, about the world around us that we cannot see. 

Matt tells Monsters and Critics, "So far, I've driven a NASCAR vehicle 170mph, gone alligator hunting and been punched in the face - turns out the fist was actually quite visible."

Style Network just can't quit the Colorado boy, as Matt is also shooting a pilot for them that he co-created with Lisa Arch called 'Saving Mom,' where they whip a family into shape and defuse a nuclear bomb.

Matt says, "Only one of those 2 actually happens in the show." 

He is still the voice of 'Dumbest Stuff on Wheels' on the Speed Channel (season 2 premieres January 25th) and is tooling up for the next season of 'American Ninja Warrior' on G4. 

Matt says, "I'm also headed back to Australia for another comedy tour down under in March 2012."

Dr. Matt Iseman shared his Ten List with us for 2011:     

Charlie Sheen

It was amazing to watch the unraveling of a mind in real time on Twitter.  Perhaps, more importantly, it proved that money can't buy happiness.  But it can rent two goddesses and buy you enough mood altering substances that you don't mind being replaced by Ashton Kutcher.

Community

It continues to be my favorite comedy on TV and yet it looks like it might get cancelled, suggesting that either I have bad taste or America does.  Only Abed knows for sure.

Siri

As a fan of War Games (the 1983 movie with Matthew Broderick), I like the idea of a talking computer.   But, even better than playing Tic Tac Toe with you, Siri will tell you where to bury a body. 

Journey

No, I am not talking about that cover band made up of old dudes and a young Filipino, I'm talking about the band from about 28 years ago that created some of the most epically awesome songs ever (they're like a real life version of Wyld Stallyns).  And those songs still rock today, proving that Steve Perry is timeless (alas, if only his hip and larynx were, too).

Diet Mountain Dew

Without it, I would be asleep right now.

Words With Friends

I've learned that Za, Qi, Ka and Jo are words.  And that I don't have friends, just enemies with puny vocabularies to be crushed by my Triple Word Scores. (If you'd like to battle in the Wordatorium, I'm MattIseman…)

Kristen Wiig

I think she's the funniest woman in comedy right now and Bridesmaids (which she wrote and starred in) was my funniest movie for 2011.  I wish she were the voice of Siri, "Dump it in a mineshaft, Matt.  And stop downloading Wilson Phillips."

iPhone on Verizon

The most amazing gadget I have ever used and, now, it can actually make calls.

Tim Tebow

I grew up in Denver and I bleed Bronco orange so I may be biased, but Tebow is the most watchable player in the NFL.  He is the second coming… of John Elway.  Minus, the cannon arm and ability to play the traditional QB position.  He plays ugly and all he does is win.  He's like the movie Rudy come to life.* 

Friday Night Lights

Perhaps my favorite show ever ended this year, cut down in its prime leaving us to wonder what could have been.  It only lasted five seasons but, other than a random murder-rape coverup in season two, it was perfect.  Coach Taylor taught us all, "Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose."

*-"I know the movie 'Rudy' is based on a real life character, but it should've been based on Tebow"
