Why this Emmy-winning TV host wants to cancel cable

Phil Keoghan has hosted the TV show “The Amazing Race” since 2001. The 51-year-old from New Zealand says he’s passionate about telling stories and traveling, so he feels lucky to be working on a show that enables him to do both.

“It just seems like I should be cutting the cable. It annoys me that I keep getting this bill and I don’t know what the hell I’m paying for. ” MarketWatch: Since you travel so much, do you have any travel tips? The only other new car I’ve bought was for my parents — and it was the greatest joy of my life. I took them to lunch; I was in Christchurch [New Zealand] and I had the new car parked in front of the restaurant, and after we were done we walked out on the street and I said, “So dad, if you could pick any car here on the street to drive home — just joking around — which one would it be? He said, “Ah, I’d probably pick that one right there. It looks like a new Prius.

My mother always taught me: If you’re going to buy something, buy the best. And if you can’t afford it, wait. Don’t settle for mediocrity with anything. I’ve always lived by that. I try to instill that in my daughter. This idea of saving for something and never be impulsive with your buys. Savor it. Look forward to it.

Keoghan: I’ve never really done that. To be honest with you, I’ve done things with money you’re not meant to do. I put money into my own projects. We helped fund a film called “The Ride” and gave the profits to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society instead of reimbursing ourselves. Over a million dollars. Right now we’re funding a podcast to inspire people — Buckit with Phil Keoghan — we don’t have sponsors.

European stocks set to open slightly higher on US-China trade optimismEuropean shares are seen higher amid progress in U.S.-China trade talks, but gains look set to be capped on euro zone growth concerns. I find it absolutely comical that you people keep using 'trade optimism' as the reason markets go higher. How many times can the market go up on the same exact event..?

Stocks in Asia set to gain on hopes of potential US-China trade dealShares in Asia were set to see opening gains on Friday as investors await more details about a potential trade deal between China and the U.S. It was well done. The specific periods that I have been putting a lot of thought into lately is during the reign of Mao Zedong, and after the fall of Saigon which led to the murders of millions, as you mentioned. How many days on the same BS? Been hearing this story for ages.
