If you are addicted to The Amazing Race like I am then you will be happy to hear host Phil Keoghan is bringing a new reality TV show to Canada. NOW or No Opportunity Wasted, as it's called, will help Canucks get in touch with their inner daredevils. At 19 Phil nearly ran out of oxygen while scuba diving in a shipwrecked boat, that close call inspired him to come up with a list of adventures he wanted to experience before he really kicks the bucket. With that in mind, 20 years later and a hit series under his belt Phil continues to help people pursue their dreams or face their fears. The new show will give people the time and the 'opportunity' to do it- no excuses.
No Opportunity Wasted, hosted by adventurer Bruce Kirby, hits the CBC this fall.
