Jelani Roy is an American television personality, lawyer and sports agent who is best known for competing on season 26 of The Amazing Race.
Following teams of two who race around the world with the goal of reaching the final destination first and winning the $1 million prize, The Amazing Race is one of the most popular reality television shows currently airing. In his season, Roy paired up with blogger-lawyer Jenny Wi for the race competition; placed together in a ‘blind date’ scenario, Roy and Wi had to learn to work together despite having no existing relationship and ultimately placed second.
