By Jay Bobbin When Phil Keoghan created "Tough as Nails," he didn't foresee it being even more apt by the time it aired. A producer as well as the host of "The Amazing Race," he also fills both roles on his new CBS compe- tition series that begins Wednesday, July 8. The contestants are workers whose regular occupations — from a deputy sheriff and a firefighter to a welder and a farmer — help keep America running and qualify them for the show's challenges, with physical and mental strength among the traits needed for tasks they per- form at various job sites. With his wife Louise a fellow executive producer of "Tough as Nails," the friendly Keoghan notes "the timing of the nature of the show" is quite appropriate. "We didn't know when we were shooting the series, which is about essential workers, just how pertinent and how relevant it was going to be in terms of what's in the zeitgeist now. We're honoring these very people, and as someone said to me, never have we been so appreciative of people who make $15 an hour. "I don't know if any of us will look at somebody stocking shelves in a grocery store the same way again," adds Keoghan. "We under- stand the value of everybody who contributes to society and the world that we had taken for granted." "The Amazing Race" is expected to return to CBS later this year with its already taped 32nd season. Ke- oghan is satisfied to have "Tough as Nails" on first, recognizing — and, in fact, hoping for — the added significance its theme could have in this time of social distancing and face coverings. In a sense, the show is something of an immediate throwback to an age that may not come back again, at least not fully. "We don't know what world we're inheriting after all of this, or how it's going to work," the clearly well-traveled Keoghan reasons. "There will definitely be changes and as we always have done, we'll just adapt. "Are we going to shake hands again? I don't know. I wonder if that common courtesy will become more of a Japanese type of gesture, where it's doing to be more of a nod ... or maybe it will be a fist bump or elbow bump. And how will it be in restaurants, or on air- planes?" Indeed, Keoghan reflects, "I've been flying long enough that I remember when people used to smoke on planes. You'd be in the nonsmoking section, but you might as well have been sitting in the smoking section, because the smoke would drift to where you were. I just know that it is not going to be the same again." Celebrity Scoop Celebrity Scoop Phil Keoghan gives CBS a 'Tough as Nails' competition Cover Story Cover Story By George Dickie With risk comes reward, con- ventional wisdom has it, and in Season 5 of HGTV's Tuesday series "Good Bones," Mina Starsiak Hawk takes on more of the former in pursuit of the latter. With her mom, lawyer Karen E. Laine, out of the ownership picture of their Indianapolis- based renovation company Two Chicks and a Hammer, Starsiak Hawk has taken the lead not only on more remodeling proj- ects but also opening a store- front in town while undergoing IVF treatments to become preg- nant with her second child with husband Stephen Hawk. "It's definitely a little bit stressful," the 35-year-old ad- Checking in with Mina Starsiak Hawk mits. "I think just the biggest part is there's always risk in real estate but now we're taking another risk with the storefront. And so many people that I employ are family or practically family, so ... there's definitely those periods where we're like, 'Oh my gosh, am I going to be able to pay my family salaries this month?'-kind of thing. And we always figure it out. "But in the meantime," she adds with a laugh, "I want to (scream) trying to figure it out." Those headaches are no longer for Laine, who gave up her share of the business to spend more time with her husband Roger, who retired three years ago. But while she too is technically retired, she'll still be helping her daughter with renovation projects, acting in the role of labor rather than management. "So she doesn't have to worry about quarterly tax payments and ... managing employees and all the nonfun, nonglamorous parts of it," Starsiak Hawk says. "She just gets to do the fun stuff now."
