Going for the rare double-mention in a single day is The Amazing Race, which we talked about earlier in the context of compelling footage of India, and which is back today with its announcement of new teams, in advance of the February 15 premiere of the new season. The show's first deaf contestant will race with his mom, two 4'9" stuntmen will tackle the planet, and, as seen above, a kid will attempt to exploit his father's "advanced" age to gain an advantage. (Seriously, watch it: it's a pretty funny clip.)
UPDATE: I totally apologize for not snagging the fact that "the guy" in the clip is writer/actor Mike White — mostly mentioned for doing School Of Rock and Chuck and Buck, but a genius to me mostly because he was a writer on Freaks And Geeks. I did initially think I recognized him, but I tend to think that about half the people I see in reality-show casts, and I always assume that at most, it means I saw them in a deodorant commercial or something. See the comments for details.
