(S01E01) Live for the Moment goes for the heartstrings at the first minute. In the premiere episode, we meet Roger Childs who started to suffer from Als (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease). Even with his body degenerating, he's managed to continue to be positive for his wife and two children. Jeff Probst arrives, hands the family a journal with several "missions" and hopes that the family will live for the moment.
On paper, the show is basically Phil Keoghan's show No Opportunity Wasted, but with a bigger budget and longer timeline. Live for the Moment is truly a combination of The Bucket List, Big Fish, and Up! The show is saccharine sweet and would have fit perfectly on the Hallmark Channel.

Starting this Saturday, Keoghan, 41, plans to average 100 miles a day in pedal power. "Riding a bicycle is about getting back to basics," he says. "It's good for the waistline and it's good for the wallet, is what I'm saying." But Keoghan isn't undertaking the road trip strictly for fitness. His adventure, sponsored by the health-store chain Gnc,...

Host vs. Host Survivor host Jeff Probst recently announced that CBS was picking up a pilot of a new reality show he’s producing (and will host) called Live Like You’re Dying. The plot is simple and so, so depressing: each week, the show will give someone with a terminal illness the chance to live his or her dream. Like Make-a-Wish for adults, except the wisher is being horribly exploited for ratings success. But, as Washington Post’s Lisa de Moraes points out, the show is very similar to another CBS reality show host’s side project: Amazing Race‘s Phil Keoghan’s No Opportunity Wasted, which gave participants the chance to conquering their fears or whatever else was holding them back and do something they’d always wanted.
