Trip. Ever.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E398NriZLVg Background: Jon Montgomery’s life has been a whirlwind since his Olympic win in skeleton, his big-time podium moment to get the gold medal, and his now-famous victory walk through Whistler Village. But he’s about more than just the frosty, golden beer that gave him instant folk- hero status with so many Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast. From an appearance on Oprah, to the overwhelming homecoming in Russell, Manitoba, and from appearing in his own adventure travel television show and a presentation at the Juno Awards, Jon has been sharing his Olympic success with as many Canadians as possible. Today, as the host of The Amazing Race Canada, he's been across the country and openly shares his perspective on what makes Canada great. Following an incredibly successful launch as the highest-rated broadcast debut in the history of Canadian-produced television, (averaging over 3-million viewers for each week), Season 2 is back on CTV with 11 teams travelling the world searching for the illusive tickets and the title of winner under the watchful eye of host, Jon Montgomery. Jon welcomes the opportunity to get together with youth and corporate audiences alike, maybe auction off something sentimental for your charity, or engage your employees with stories of a young guy from the prairies who did something incredible for our country and reminded us all that it’s all right to be proudly Canadian and celebrate the good times. That’s being Jon Montgomery.
