It’s arduous to imagine The Wonderful Race Season 37 has come and gone on the 2025 TV schedule, with its new “Fork within the Street” twist and its solely considerably sudden million greenback prize winners. Nevertheless, as one chapter closes, one other opens, which generally results in some attention-grabbing questions from the followers. And this time, somebody requested host Phil Keoghan who he would like to run the race with. His reply didn’t disappoint.
Sometimes, forward of a brand new season and towards the tip of a given season veteran host Phil Keoghan is a bit more energetic within the interview house, and this was true as Season 37 approached its finish. TV Insider truly requested Phil Keoghan who he would like to run The Wonderful Race with. He stated he’d completely like to run it together with his dad, a member of the family who’s close to and pricey to his personal coronary heart, which was perhaps to be anticipated, however I didn’t see his emotional and heartfelt backstory coming.
Sadly, my dad shouldn’t be doing so good proper now. It’s only a latest factor, and so I treasure the adventures that I’ve had with him all through my life, however after I take into consideration the final word accomplice, he’s the primary one which involves thoughts. I get to spend time with him.
It’s great that Phil can at all times take away the positives from their many adventures regardless of his dad’s latest well being points. Whereas his reply was far and away extra touching than I might have anticipated after somebody requested a hypothetical, he went on to clarify why his father would make such an exquisite race competitor. Seems, there are lots of, many causes he feels his dad would “be the final word accomplice.”
My dad is sort of a strolling encyclopedia, only a wealth of information. He’s well-traveled. He’s a plant scientist. He’s very bodily, however he’s additionally tremendous good and good at puzzles. We’ve traveled on loads of adventures collectively ever since I used to be 3, being on his shoulders strolling right down to the Grand Canyon to retracing the 1928 Tour de France, and he was the assist for me. I rode throughout America elevating cash for M.S. [multiple sclerosis] and he was driving the assist automobile. Yeah, my dad can be the final word accomplice.
Because the host of The Wonderful Race it’s unlikely Mr. Keoghan would ever be capable of compete within the race, given he’s been aware of all of the challenges and their ins and outs through the years. It’s additionally price noting Phil’s dad did seem on TAR as soon as again in Season Season 13 when Marisa and Brooke had been eradicated. I’m fairly certain Phil’s dad even gave them a hug.
Nonetheless, whereas there can be some issues with Phil and his dad competing, even however the aforementioned well being points, I believe it’s a compelling query for the face most linked with the present, as I wager it’s one thing he’s considered every so often as somebody on the artistic aspect of the sequence. Both means, his reply didn’t disappoint.
Now, I’m truly questioning what it is likely to be like if Phil competed on one thing like CBS’ Survivor or one of many different nice actuality exhibits on the market. The final time he was a celeb visitor and never a bunch was I believe means again when Password bought revitalized as Million Greenback Password for a brand new viewers, however I imagine that was greater than 15 years in the past.
In the meantime, The Wonderful Race will reside on. The present has been renewed for Season 38 and can proceed the 90-minute episode trajectory it began alongside Survivor a few years in the past. And whereas Phil most positively gained’t be competing together with his dad, I can just about assure there will probably be some dynamic father-son duos in future seasons, similar to Jeff and Pops in Season 37.
