Phil Keoghan on resuming The Amazing Race filming: “We’ve got to bring that line down"

Entertainment Weekly

Keoghan says stopping production on Season 33 in March was "very frustrating." He tells EW Radio: “People have asked me when we’re going to be back shooting Amazing Race. And all I can say is, ‘As soon as that curve goes down.’ That line that we see — which is so depressing right now — unfortunately, is an indication of not shooting/shooting. I mean, that’s all there is to it.” Keoghan also wants to emphasize that The Amazing Race's Season 32 premiere being pushed back to this fall had nothing to do with his new CBS reality show Tough as Nails, which premieres Wednesday. “Amazing Race is a blue-chip show, it’s a go-to show," he says. "It’s got a track record, unlike Tough as Nails, which we’re throwing out there and we’ll see whether people like it or not. So mutually exclusive shows, right? One has nothing to do with another.”
