Sunday, September 25, 2005The Amazing Race received its third Emmy since it started on CBS back in September 2001 days before the tragic events of September 11th, 2001. Despite the timing with tragedy of unspeakable horror Race took off and with a break following the terrorist attacks managed to garner an audience that is ever expanding. The 2000+ employees of Race in the U.S, South America, Africa and Asia and married founders & producers Bertram van Munster and his wife Elise Doganieri. For those of you who keep their eyes glued to their TVs on Tuesdays to catch every drop of The Amazing Race or those who are curious check out this article on the story of how the two lovers and founders made it big here: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6260344.html?verticalid=311&industry=People&industryid=1032 Also the writers for American talk show in New York The Daily Show with Jon Stewart flew home from L.A with a double whammy. They won for both Best Writing and Best Comedy or Variety Program which I know will make my good friend Stefan Koski from Connecticut, United States proud, very proud indeed. This was done with intense flair as the writers of all the nominated shows were shown sleeping, slouching and much more in front of their computers. I will try to locate some shots. Stefan I hope you read this post and I promise I will watch again with even more incentive. The Daily Show is also holding an acution on eBay selling of set pieces for eBay afficandos and fans alike from their first and former set in New York. All proceeds will go to 826 NYC an organization who give money towards young writers. Even if you aren't willing to hand over masses of cash, this shows a soft spot this hard knock show has which puts a smile of my face. Here's a article about the auction: http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/extras/auction.jhtml Here's an article with the current status on the the auction now raking in thousands upon thousands: http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271976891,00.html As well another articles about the Emmys from CBC and The Toronto Star.
