The only question I have is why is this not on in America???

It's a TV show in Japan called "Slippery Stairs" and it is exactly that. It's like American Ninja Warrior but for anyone. Basically, they grease down a stairway and all the competitors has to do is get to the top.

Seems simple, right?

Wrong. It looks insanely difficult since the stairwell is so extremely lubricated. It actually looks physically impossible. And it's actually suspenseful... As soon as one contestant gets into a decent lead, they, of course, slip and fall all the way to the bottom, knocking down all other competitors in the process.

It's probably the funniest thing I've ever seen and we need this on American television ASAP.

Check this out!
