So, whats Phils story?
Phil is an adventure lover as well as a television personality. At the age of 19, Phil was temporarily trapped inside an underwater shipwreck. He nearly ran out of oxygen before he was rescued. This near-death experience changed his life, inspiring him to live it to the fullest. His daredevil activities led him to a number of hosting gigs on adventure shows, first in New Zealand and later elsewhere. Later, he applied to become the host of Survivor, and narrowly lost to Jeff Probst. Fortunately for him (and us), he instead became the host of TAR. More recently, Phil created and hosted a new limited series for The Discovery Channel, called NOW: No Opportunity Wasted, after his own personal life philosophy. In it, ordinary Americans are given 72 hours and $3000, but absolutely no other help, in order to accomplish a life dream.
