New Netflix show the Floor is Lava has become one of the most popular shows on the streaming platform to arrive this year! But along with the new game show, is a new presenter – who is the Floor is Lava Netflix announcer?

Floor is Lava host Rutledge Wood certainly fits the shows high intensity and enthusiasm! In fact, they probably couldn’t have found a more suited presenter for the show!

But who actually is Rutledge Wood?

And what do we know about the Floor is Lava announcer?

Well, we’re going to tell you all about the Floor is Lava host, Rutledge Wood!

What is the Floor is Lava?

The Floor is Lava is the latest game show to feature on streaming platform Netflix.

In fact, it’s only been on our screens a month and has already developed a huge fanbase due to it’s originality and unique features!

So, what exactly is the aim of the game?

Well, the Floor is Lava is based on the game many of us played as children! The creators of the show have built an entire set based on the children’s game, except – this time the floor IS lava!

Three teams are required to navigate across rooms by jumping from platforms and objects – without falling to their demise into the bubbling lava! Of course, this has left many fans questioning what the lava is made of – and how deep is it? But that’s a whole other article!

Floor is Lava – how deep is the water?

But that’s not all! Any team that survives the room, and manages not to fall into the lava, wins a huge $10,000 – and a lava lamp!

Of course, the success of the game show isn’t only down to the life-like lava and impressive game prize!

New #RutsRides This is my @toyotausa @ToyotaRacing 86. It looks a lot like the car they used to make called the Scion FR-S 🙂 So it’s got an updated bumper front and rear, tail lights, and some other goodies. My friends @Koruworks made some new turn signals for it, installed the new @Magnaflow Cat-back exhaust, and their super cool Koruworks Edition @getnrg steering wheel & hub. While it was there, they got it ready for the race track and the street with a new set of @kanseiwheels some @continental_tire Extreme Contact Sport’s, and did all the preventative maintenance I needed. I bolted in a new @odysseybattery ordered a custom vanity plate for it, and then I put the @kw_suspension coilovers through a workout along with the @toyotaracing Development (TRD) big brake kit. This car brings back so many amazing memories of when I won the #ToyotaProCelebrityRace in Long Beach in 2013. I met so many amazing people over the years, got to brighten the days of some wonderful children and families thanks to @racingforkids and I got to show people that I’m pretty decent on a racetrack when @tannerfoust isn’t there, and @bdavv is behind me, cause he was always a force to be reckoned with! Thanks for watching! #RutOnContinental @teamtoyota

Yes, Rutledge is a car enthusiast, which you can see from his Instagram page! The TV host has said previously that his love for cars began at an early age, and he has clearly followed his passion in life. Rutledge is well known for his work as a racing analyst and has even worked for NASCAR previously!

The Floor is Lava announcer is originally from Alabama but moved to Georgia when he was 15-years-old. He is now a husband, and father of three daughters – I wonder whether they watch the Floor is Lava!

You can follow the Netflix Floor is Lava announcer on Instagram, where he regularly shares pictures of cars, his family and even snippets of the Floor is Lava!
