There’s already ‘Celebrity Apprentice’, ‘Celebrity Rehab’ and ‘Celebrity oasterchef’ and now it looks like ‘The Amazing Race’ may be next in line. Kiwi host Phil Keoghan is supportive of the idea, saying, “I would love to have a celebrity version. If every celebrity who has told me they liked the show signed up and was a part of it, that would be huge.”
However, Phil says while there have been discussions about a Hollywood version of the show, the reality of celebrity lives makes it difficult to organize. “The question that always comes up is ‘would we be able to get them out of their schedule?'” explains Phil. “And would they really be able to put up with the schedule itself? It’s very different than anything else that’s shot, like a movie set. We are beholden to what happens in the real world. That makes it really tough.”
But if he could pull off the ultimate celebrity competition, who would be racing? “I know Sarah Jessica Parker is a big fan of the show,” says Phil. “And I heard Drew Barrymore likes the show, and Neil Patrick Harris likes the show. I just don’t know if they realize what’s [in store]. It would be fun.”
