Reality TV favorites, Flight Time Lang and Big Easy Lofton, who captured the hearts of millions of fans during a top-four finish on Season 15 of “The Amazing Race,” will get another opportunity to thrill viewers worldwide as the popular Globetrotters tandem has been selected to compete in the upcoming special season of the Emmy Award-winning series, “The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business.”
“The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business” will premiere on Sunday, Feb. 20 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network.
“We are pumped for the chance to close the deal this time around,” said Big Easy. “We had a lot of fun competing in ‘The Amazing Race’ the first time, but now, we are focused on being the first ones to cross the finish line.”
“I’m taking any word jumble challenges,” joked Flight Time. The Globetrotters’ run in Season 15 ended when Big Easy had difficulty unscrambling a letter puzzle in the next to last episode, and the Globetrotters were forced to take a time penalty they could not overcome. “We had so much fun doing what we do best, entertaining fans across the globe. We can’t wait to do it again.”
Both Flight Time and Big Easy are also fan favorites on the basketball court, as they star in Globetrotters games all across the U.S. and the world. Flight Time, Big Easy, and their Globetrotter teammates are in the midst of their 2011 “4 Times the Fun” World Tour, playing 274 games in 220 cities across North America through mid-April.

Globetrotters Introduce First-Ever 4-Point Shot!
The Harlem Globetrotters, who have contributed more innovations to the game of basketball than any other team in history, have implemented the first-ever 4-point shot as part of all of its games on the team’s 2011 “4 Times the Fun” North American tour, the team’s record 85th season of touring.

“The Globetrotters have been at the forefront of basketball’s evolution throughout the sport’s history,” said Globetrotters CEO Kurt Schneider. “From the alley-oop to the slam dunk to the behind-the-back pass, the Globetrotters have long brought innovations to basketball that are now staples of the game, and we’re confident the 4-point shot will change the game of basketball going forward.”
The 4-point option is expected to further open up the playing floor for the Globetrotters as well as their opponents, the Generals, and is expected to generate even more high-scoring action and competitive play.
