Mike BloomHOST
I mean, John Montgomery at the pit stop would've been...
Mike BloomHOST
I m- as much as, you know, they are acknowledging the Squamish Nation at the beginning and end of this leg, to have John Montgomery and Phil Keoghan sharing the mat would've been incredible
Jess CaleceHOST
I think my brain would've exploded.
Jess CaleceHOST
I'm not sure, I'm not sure, I, I'm not sure my body was ready for that.

Matt HeathHOST
And this is the fourth time he's brought this huge US show to New Zealand to shoot.
Matt HeathHOST
So Phil Keoghan, for showcasing our beloved beautiful Christchurch to millions and millions of Americans, uh, on your massive TV show, you are second runner-up for New Zealander of the Week.
Matt HeathHOST
It's a great show.
Tyler AdamsHOST
Well done, Phil.
Alexis RhiannonHOST
Certainly.
Beth AppelHOST
It's like you're frigging Phil Keoghan from Amazing Race probably gonna go under an umbrella, not me.
Beth AppelHOST
[laughs]
Alexis RhiannonHOST
Yeah.
Andy DehnartHOST
Just like when they got, I think word was in Paris that they were gonna be holding for another 24 hours in their hotel rooms, they were thrilled that they got that, that time.
Andy DehnartHOST
It's also interesting to me that The Amazing Race now is obviously synonymous and, uh, with its host, Phil Keoghan, who is the person who said the words that I say at the beginning of this, uh, episode, you know, uh, "The world is waiting for you," and, "Travel safely," and et cetera.
Andy DehnartHOST
And is of course there to greet every team as they check in and then eliminate teams, or pheliminate them as it became known.
Andy DehnartHOST
But in that very first episode, the production decided that they did not want Phil to actually greet teams who were checking in safely or, you know, who were, who were fine, who were gonna go on in the race.
Andy DehnartHOST
You know, you have a host come in and do some narration to help fill a gap in footage or storytelling or just to make everything clearer for viewers.
Andy DehnartHOST
And that's normal, but it's really wild to imagine shaping what The Amazing Race became while doing that in, in the edit bay and just like really trying to, to figure that out.
Andy DehnartHOST
Phil told me, uh, and this is a quote from Phil Keoghan, quote, "Everything was so secretive.
Andy DehnartHOST
They wouldn't give me the scripts until the night before, and I was up all night.

I remember there was one that was wrongfully convicted, and then, of course, the, the twins that-- who found out they were part of an illegal adoption scandal in, in Korea.
Kate CaseyHOST
And then, of course, the interview I did with Phil Keoghan, and he talked about what it's like to make this show and The response he gets throughout the world, how it prompted so many people to wanna travel.
Kate CaseyHOST
That was a great episode too.
Kate CaseyHOST
It's such a well-oiled machine.
Brandon DonlonPANELIST
Um, but again, like, all the people that we're picking, it just to, to get to a halfway point feels like the, the, where they, they're, you know, that's the, the finish line.
Brandon DonlonPANELIST
Phil Keoghan is, is standing there, like, waiting 'cause that's the-
Matt LiguoriHOST
[laughs]
Brandon DonlonPANELIST
... that's the end of the road for them, I think.

Jessica LewisHOST
A- and this was pretty standard, like, "Here is a thing.
Jessica LewisHOST
You gotta make the thing that looks like the thing-"
