70th Emmy Awards: RuPaul's Drag Race Wins Best Reality Competition Program

When your critically acclaimed reality show has been running for 37 seasons, as in the case of host Phil Keoghan's "The Amazing Race," it's essential to keep your audience on their toes without straying from the core format that made the show successful in the first place.

"We're trying to shake things up a bit to keep everyone on their toes," Keoghan says. "Now that we've been doing it for 37 seasons, that's our constant challenge: to be consistently good and not deviate from the format, which is what works at its core."

Keoghan stopped by Variety's Virtual FYC TV Fest: The Nominees 2024, along with Tom Campbell, executive producer of "RuPaul's Drag Race" and Sam Rees-Jones, executive producer of "The Traitors." The trio spoke with Variety's Michael Schneider about their work and the biggest challenges in the reality TV world.
