Who is the Tough as Nails host?
The host of Tough as Nails is Phil Keoghan who is also known as the host for Amazing Race.
Phil also co-created the format with his wife Louise. But his work doesn’t stop there, as he also directs the episodes. It’s definitely a family affair because his daughter, Elle (who worked on Big Brother), is a story producer. Phil’s brother, Andrew, is a composer who wrote the show’s theme song.
What makes Tough as Nails stand out from other competitive reality television shows isn’t just the fact it’s being run by Phil Keoghan and his family, but it also shows strength in different types of people. The show praises people who have different career choices and the strength and endurance they have in order to get their jobs done each and every day.
Unlike other competition-based reality shows, those who get eliminated are not eligible to win the prize, but they are able to stay as a team member. They can stay and help during team challenges which makes this competition about more than just winning money.
