Flight Time, Big Easy say 'Amazing Race' helped them positively affect viewers

Herb “Flight Time” Lang and Nate “Big Easy” Lofton say they would definitely consider running “The Amazing Race” a third time because they see it as a third chance to positively affect viewers.

“I think we would, I think we would. Just for the fact that we get a lot of emails from families around the world about how they enjoy watching it with their kids, we’re role models for their kids, the way we run the race and how we carry ourselves … the reason we’d run it again is we want to affect some more families in a positive light,” Big Easy said in an interview Monday, one day after the season finale showed the team finishing second in the five continent-23 city race.

The Harlem Globetrotters teammates were first featured on season 15, when they placed fourth after a four-hour penalty due to Big Easy not being able to complete the Prague Road Block eliminated the team.

More from my interview with Herb “Flight Time” Lang and Nate “Big Easy” Lofton:

How did it feel watching the finale last night?

Flight Time: “It was a lot of fun. I mean, even just last night, even through the race we laughed, we cried. It was a good time to be – a good chance to be with the people that we actually experienced it with … it was fun, especially the episode in Brazil. I think the episode in Brazil was probably the funnest episode of ‘The Amazing Race,’ with the waxing, but it was a lot of fun, and we had a good time.”

What, if anything, do you wish you had done differently during the final leg?

Big Easy: “I don’t think there’s anything we would have done differently, besides stop the wind from blowing so hard, but ya know we can’t change that. We ran a good race. We had a great time, and we enjoyed ourselves.”
