Will Forte revealed on the SmartLess podcast that he and Val Kilmer seriously considered competing on the reality show The Amazing Race together around 2010, shortly after filming MacGruber.
Forte initially suggested the idea somewhat casually, but Kilmer became unexpectedly and intensely enthusiastic about it. Kilmer dove deep into preparation, studying past seasons, analyzing strategies, and taking detailed notes, much to Forte's surprise.
The duo actually pitched their participation to the show's producers. However, despite Kilmer's dedicated preparation and their pitch, their appearance on The Amazing Race ultimately never happened. The anecdote highlights Kilmer's well-known intensity applied to an unexpected context and provides a humorous behind-the-scenes story about the two actors.
