YEAR OF THE DOG Writer-Director Mike White To Star In CBS’ Next AMAZING RACE!!
I am – Hercules!!
Writer-actor-director Mike White is running “The Amazing Race” with his gay pop.
White is the “Freaks and Geeks” vet who went on to write “Chuck & Buck,” “Orange County,” “The Good Girl,” “School of Rock” and “Nacho Libre.”
He more recently wrote and directed the hilarious and harrowing “Year of the Dog,” one of 2007’s best movies if you’re asking me.
As an actor, White played Kim Kelly’s brother in “Geeks” and appeared in “Chuck & Buck,” “Undeclared,” “Orange County,” “The Good Girl,” “School of Rock” and “Pushing Daisies.”
Dad Mel White is described as a writer, filmmaker, professor, pastor and gay-rights activist.
The Whites will be seen racing against a deaf guy and his mom, a pair of dwarf sibling stuntmen, a pair of sibling Harvard Law grads, a pair of hot redheads, a pair of blonde flight attendants and a pair of twentysomethings from The Bronx.
Have a look at all the contestants here.
"The Amazing Race" returns to CBS’s Sunday night schedule Feb. 15.

soo...did Year of the Dog really lose THAT much money?
by s0nicdeathmonkey
first School of Rock 2...then this? White is one of my favorite comedy writers. I hope he's doing this because he wants to, and not because he has to.

and (maybe)Falwell. True story.

zach galifianakis...who is hilarious by the way for anyone who hasn't heard of/seen him...
-
I enjoy the maudlin piano
-
But it would cooler if he was writing a new script.
-
We need those dumb ass college guys who couldn't goose-step their way past the Red Army challenge.

Enough with the airport drama, I'm sick of it! This show should be about exotic locals, not the inside of airports!
Also, the show has terrible editing. It's very obvious when they're manipulating the timing and voices to create a false impression of what's going on. And enough with the "I can't do!", cut to commercial, come back and they do it. It's been done to death. -
Somebody call the Bond people NOW and get these guys gigs as twin henchmen called Heads and Tails

There's a TV cliche about shows featuring one legged lesbian skydivers. Next year perhaps.

you buried the lead -- "School of Rock" is the one people actual

but you get the idea.

Mhhh... perhaps a season of minor celebrities would be actually pretty cool; kind of Wacky Races.

Which is the obligatory couple of the blond girl and her douchebag boyfriend who treats her like crap?The editing of the show bugs me too. They cut back and forth between two teams making it seem like it is a dead heat only to have one team check in during the day and the other shows up after sunset. I like to take note of the departure times because it reveals how far apart the teams were on the last leg. But you don't get to find out how far behind the last place team was if it got eliminated.Anyone else notice at the end of last season that the mother and son who had been eliminated on the previous leg weren't there at the finish line with all the other contestants? I guess they really did lose their passports. I wonder how long they were stuck in Russia.

One pair I would nominate would be Tim & Eric.

Put a dog in it.
You shouldn't have to be told twice. -
From an interview with Dallas (Mother/Son team):
Ultimately, Dallas says his “passport was turned in to the U.S. Embassy, so I was actually [able to] get home. I wasn’t able to make it for the finale, but we finally got back later, luckily not too much later than everybody else.”
Also:

As to his colossal screw-up in the episode that essentially cost them the race, Dallas says his passport and money were lost because production needed to change his mic’s battery, and he had to change cabs; in the confusion, his stuff was lost.
“What happened was I had to do a microphone battery change. I was in the cab for about an hour. The driver didn’t know where he was going. I said, ‘I need a new taxi.’ So, as I was getting out to do the microphone change [the Amazing Race staff] undid my fanny pack with all my stuff in it because they had to get to the microphone. When I got out of the first taxi, it wasn’t attached to me anymore. I hopped into a new taxi, took that to where I needed to be and then went to pay. I didn’t have any money. That’s when I realized I’d left it in the previous taxi.”
Ultimately, though, he still left it behind. Dallas said that he actually was in three taxis, and that the editing misrepresented what happened. “They made it look like the taxi with my pack drove away and I just watched it and waved goodbye. That was far from the case,” Dallas said.

I'd might actually watch that.
But only if they had actual celebrites like actors, not former reality show participants.
