FREAKING OUT AT ALL.
THE 30TH SEEN OF THE HIT CBS
SHOW THE AMAZING RACE UNDERWAY.
KEN: WE'RE GETTING A CHANCE TO
TALK WITH THE SHOW's LONG TIME
HOST ABOUT WHAT CAN HE EXPECT
THIS TIME AROUND.
PHIL, THANKS FOR JOINING US THIS
MORNING.
SR THANK ARE FOR TAKING THE
TIME TO TALK ABOUT A SHOW I
LOVE.
HISTORIC 30TH SEEN OF THE
AMAZING RACE.
OUR FANS HAVE STUCK WITH US FROM
DAY ONE AND FOR US TO BE ABLE TO
SHARE OUR 30TH SEASON NOW IN
2018 IT's EXTRAORDINARY.
WE'RE SO PROUD OF THIS SEASON
AND THE GREAT CAST WE'VE GOT.
WE IN IN ICE LAND LAST WEEKEND.
IT CAME DOWN TO ABOUT A FOOT TO
THE FINISH.
CLOSEST FINISH WE EVER HAD ON
ANY AMAZING RACE AND THEN
TONIGHT WE HEAD TO BELGIUM AND
WE HAVE A VERY DRAMATIC FINISH
AS WELL WITH OUR FIRST EVER HEAD
TO HEAD.
EXCITED.
THANKS FOR TALKING TO US ABOUT
IT.
WE WITH TRY NOT TO MAKE ANY OF
OUR EATING CHALLENGES ON AMAZING
RACE GRATUITOUS.
I HAD ANTS IN VENEZUELA ONCE AND
HAD SOME COBRA BLOOD IN THE
GOLDEN TRIANGLE ONCE.
BUT LISTEN THERE ARE SOME
CHALLENGES I WOULD RATHER LEAVE
TO THE TEAMS.
I LIKE TO CHOOSE WHAT I EAT
BASED ON WHAT I LIKE RATHER THAN
HAVING TO DO IT.
BUT THEN AGAIN LET's NOT FORGET
THESE TEAMS ARE MOTIVATED BY THE
IDEA OF WINNING A MILLION
DOLLARS.
SO WE FIGURE THEY PRETTY MUCH --
THEY SHOULD DO WHATEVER WE ASK
THEM TO DO IF THEY WANT TO TAKE
ON THAT MILLION DOLLAR PRIZE.
PR WELL, PHIL, THE AMAZING
RACE IS MY FAVORITE REALITY SHOW
AND I'M NOT SAYING JUST BEFORE
YOU'RE HERE --
ARE YOU JUST SAYING THAT?
KEN: IT REALLY IS.
JENNY KNOWS THAT.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW WHAT IT
TAKES TO SET UP ARE THE
LOCATIONS AND CHALLENGES AT
THOSE LOCATIONS.
JUST SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A LOT
OF ADVANCE WORK TO MAKE IT ALL
WORK.
ASK YEAH, LOGISTICALLY
AMAZING RACE WOULD BE THE MOST
CHALLENGING REALITY SHOW,
PERIOD.
I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING THAT
IS MORE LOGISTICALLY CHALLENGING
AND THAT TAKES AS YOU KNOW
WORKING WITH YOUR TEAM WHERE YOU
ARE IT TAKES PEOPLE WHO ARE THE
BEST AT WHAT THEY DO.
NO ONE PERSON MAKES AMAZING
RACE.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A
COLLABORATION OF THE BEST
EXPERTISE IN THE BUSINESS AND
BEST ART DIRECTORS AND PEOPLE
SETTING UP THE TRAVEL.
WE SHOOT 12 SHOWS IN 21 DAYS.
I'M OBVIOUSLY A PART OF THE TEAM
AND MY THING IS ALWAYS -- I
ALWAYS SAY TO PEOPLE, I TRY TO
DO WHAT I DO AS WELL AS I CAN TO
KEEP MY END UP BECAUSE I KNOW
JUST HOW GOOD ALL THE VARIOUS
PEOPLE WHO WORK ON AMAZING RACE
ARE AND I WANT TO BE A
CONTRIBUTOR AND SOMEBODY WHO IS
HOLDING MY END UP.
LIKE THE REALLY MAKING SURE THAT
I'M A WORTHY CONTRIBUTOR.
AND SO, YOU FIGHT REALLY HARD TO
DO YOUR BEST WORK BECAUSE YOU
KNOW YOU'RE WORKING WITH THE
BEST IN THE BUSINESS.
YOU CAN'T UNDERESTIMATE JUST HOW
GOOD OUR TEAM IS AT WHAT THEY
DO.
AND THERE IS NO SHOW THAT IS AS
CRAZY AS THIS.
YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET ON A FLIGHT
TO GO TO ARGENTINA AND THERE IS
POLITICAL UNREST AND YOU GOT TO
SUDDENLY CHANGE DIRECTIONS AND
GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND SET UP
A WHOLE OTHER SHOW.
THE ON THE FLY JUST LIKE THAT.
I MEAN, NO, IT's -- YOU KNOW,
LOOK AT THE CAMERAMAN RUNNING
AFTER THESE TEAMS CARRYING MORE
WEIGHT THAN THE TEAMS, IT's
PRETTY EXTRAORDINARY.
WE'RE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE A GREAT
TEAM.
AMAZING SHOW.
YOU DO AN AMAZING JOB.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING.
