Disclaimer: I don't own The Amazing Race, or any of these characters. This is for entertainment purposes only.
In case you don't recognize the lesser-known kids' shows, there are characters here from Harry the Bunny, the Notekins, and VocabuLarry (from BabyFirstTV); Max and Ruby (Nick Jr); and Team Umizoomi (also Nick Jr).
This... is Dallas, Texas. One of the great business centers of the country, and the ninth-largest city in the U.S. It is also the starting point... in a race around the world. Eleven teams of two, all with different relationships and from different backgrounds, are on their way here on the Trinity River to begin this once-in-a-lifetime competition for a prize... of one million dollars.
(teams coming down the river on motorboats, one by one.)
Diego & Baby Jaguar, animal rescuers from Savannah, Georgia...

BABY JAGUAR: Mrow mrow mrow!
DIEGO: Haha! And this is Baby Jaguar. We travel all over the world as animal rescuers!
(clip of Diego & Baby Jaguar returning a baby alligator to its mommy)
We're really good at solving problems that come across our way, and from all our experience at the Rescue Center, I think a race around the world would be a great way for me and Baby Jaguar to get to see so many cool habitats.
BABY JAGUAR: Mrow mrow mrow mroww!
DIEGO: Haha! Si, the million dollars would be great, too! Alicia could use another stapler.

(all teams and host gathered at starting point by a lake in a Dallas park)
You will encounter challenges great and small, and be tested to the limits. Whichever team remains at the last leg, and comes in first place at the finish line... will win the grand prize... of one... million dollars!
(teams go yay)
Now, awaiting you at the other end of the lake are your bags, with your first clue, and the cars you'll take to the airport. Now, is everybody ready?
(teams go yeah)
Okay, then. When I say go, the race begins. Have fun... travel safe... ... ... ... ... ... GO!

Look up the theme song online or something for the effect, 'cause it goes right about here. :)
