Showtime While chatting backstage with the show's hosts, the Wilkinsons, they revealed there may be some shenanigans during the commercial breaks -- they're looking for revenge. Though they won't mess with the live broadcast of the gala awards tonight at the Saddledome, they may use the down time to get back at people like Adam Gregory. The young Edmonton star toured with the Wilkinsons. At one show, Adam and his band came out on stage when the family trio were playing, wearing nothing but towels and shaving cream. "I told them we've been got by the best," laughs father Steve. "Yeah, and they taped the towels on, so they really thought ahead," adds Amanda. The big winners at last years CCMAs and nominees tonight for fans' choice, group and video of the year, were late additions to the hosting roster. "It was a surprise when they called us on the road to ask us to do this," says Steve. "We said, 'Oh yeah, we'll do it.' " Amanda adds: "We're flattered they entrusted us with this honour. Who would have thought five years ago we'd be doing this? It's caused a lot of excitement, but it's also caused nightmares of tripping on my barbie heels or something." Tyler quickly adds it's a guarantee that he'll trip or something. Despite his clumsy nature, the teen is more worried about doing parts of the show alone: "What's going to be weird is not having them beside me. It'll feel like I'm naked or something." The family has studied other hosts in action -- "Terri Clark is a scream and Paul Brandt is so smooth" -- but they're just going to be themselves and have fun. "It's going to be like a family reunion," says Amanda. "It's going to be a great celebration (the 25th anniversary) and
I'm really happy we'll be here to be part of it," adds Steve.
