Jeff Probst won’t be dropping his buff anytime soon.
Because the Survivor host doesn’t plan on going anywhere.
“I’m telling you right now, there’s no thought in my mind at all about leaving,” the 64-year-old, who has helmed the show since its premiere in 2000, told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published Feb. 12. “I love where the show is. I love our crew. I love the type of people that are applying. It’s up in every category of ethnic diversity. Everybody’s saying it’s because ‘I see myself reflected and represented on the show, so now I want to be on the show.’ That makes me excited.”
Plus, the switch in 2021 from a 39-day competition to one lasting just over three weeks made everyone’s load a little lighter.
“The 26-day schedule got rid of a third of the shoot, and for everybody out here, that has been really positive, because the show is draining,” Probst told the outlet while filming season 50. “But now it’s doable. It’s still draining, but it’s doable.”
