“Amazing Race” host looking for Canadians for CBC show

Phil Keoghan, host of the popular reality show The Amazing Race, will bring his spin-off show No Opportunity Wasted to the CBC in October — and casting has begun for that series. In each half-hour episode, two people get challenged to set aside fears to achieve a specific task.

    I bet Knowlton Nash won’t be entering.



    What, no Ottawa dates? Sheesh.
