DEFROST 2026: Pit Stop: The Amazing (Sketch) Race

For the first time in CBS history, reality TV juggernaut The Amazing Race is taking its contestants on a journey… not around the world, but around the warped mind of sketch comedian Jayden Masciulli.

Our colour-coordinated teams of two will sprint, dash and bungee jump their way through thrilling scenes that will test the boundaries of their relationships... all while wearing the largest backpacks you’ve ever seen.

Expect a Detour between musical parodies; a Road Block of character comedy; and a Fast Forward that might derail the entire show (and fabric of reality) as we know it.

Will our teams make it to the pit stop on time? Can the producers keep everything on track? And will Phil Keoghan finally slip into his native New Zealand accent? This is adrenaline-pumping sketch staged by some of TIC's legacy performers in a one-off, comedy event.
