It was a year ago this week that the world as we knew it changed, and for those of us who wanted sports in our lives we had to revert to not having any of those for a period of time. And it led to The Challenge to take on the mighty task of being that one sport that was going on in the American landscape, and Total Madness no doubt clicked with diehard fanatics, reality viewers & sports-hungry fans during the unprecedented shutdown of athletic activity in stadiums, arenas & other sporting venues in this country.
Among those who have been on The Challenge in the past few years, we have featured so many of these link-ups of pop culture and the fifth major pro sport. There's been NFL and NBA MVP's, the baseball Hall of Famer who's just broken up with his global megastar fiancé, reality stars, musicians and beyond. It represents perhaps proof that this show is getting more of the overdue recognition it deserves after the attention it's had in the past twelve months, and it has even garnered two just as recognizable fans -- just as we tonight got to mark the annual celebration of Music's Biggest Night: the Grammy Awards.
