12 teams compete in The Amazing Race hosted by Emmy Award
nominee Phil Keoghan.
Contestants will traverse one of the fastest courses ever
assembled on the Race - spanning eight countries in just 21
days. See one of the quickest eleminations in the history
of the series on Season 15 as one team gets sent home before
they even leave the starting line. Teams fortunate enough
to avoid the surprise elimination and compete for the $ 1
million prize will face the "Switchback," which
sends Teams back to the site of one of the series' most infamous
Roadblocks, as well as a surprise appearance by one of America's
most beloved entertainers, a visit to the world's tallest
building and a spicy twist on a Japanese game show.
"This season we wanted to keep the Racers and our fans
on their toes and make sure no one gets too comfortable,"
stated Bertram van Munster, Executive Producer and Co-Creator
of The Amazing Race. "We're adding some new surprise
elements including our quickest elimination ever as well as
revisiting one of the most challenging Roadblocks our Teams
have ever encountered during our past 15 seasons."
Season 15 features a diverse cast of Racers including a Team
of Harlem Globetrotters, professional female poker players,
the first-ever Racer with Asperger's Syndrome, married yoga
teachers and a former Miss America.
The Amazing Race won its sixth straight Emmy Award for Outstanding
Reality Competition Program last year and is nominated for
an unprecedented seventh consecutive award later this month.

Doctors |
 Last
fall, The Doctors introduced an entirely new concept
to the TV landscape -- real doctors discussing medicine and
health in a relatable fashion five days a week. Striking an
immediate chord with viewers, The Doctors also resonated
with the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, who
bestowed the ultimate honor to the series during its freshman
year -- an Emmy Nomination for Outstanding Talk Show: Informative.
"We are so proud of what we accomplished last season
by introducing audiences to a new genre of television that
brought accurate medical and health information to the people
in a non-threatening and entertaining way, and we will continue
to take this responsibility very seriously in season 2,"
states The Doctors creator and executive producer Jay
McGraw.
The hosts of The Doctors include: ER physician Dr.
Travis Stork; obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Lisa Masterson;
plastic surgeon and reconstructive surgery expert Dr. Andrew
Ordon; and pediatrician Dr. James Sears will also continue
to practice medicine throughout the year. Dr. Stork is a faculty
physician and instructor in the Emergency Department at Vanderbilt
Medical Center in Nashville; Dr. Masterson and Dr. Ordon have
thriving practices in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills respectively,
and Dr. Sears runs a practice in Orange County, CA, alongside
his father and brother, both renowned doctors.
