Jeff Probst talks about his hobbies when he's not on the island and Survivor
For the past two decades, Jeff Probst’s name has been synonymous with one thing: “Survivor.” And he’s perfectly okay with that. When he landed an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Reality Competition Host — his first nomination (and win) in the category since 2011 — I wanted to tell a story about who Probst is outside of the two seasons a year he films in Fiji.
"It's interesting because most people think I shoot 'Survivor' and then I'm done until I shoot again," he says from his home in Los Angeles. "It's kind of like juggling plates."
We talked extensively about seasons 45 and 46 for our recent Emmys story . Then he went to Fiji to film seasons 47 and 48 — the first premieres next month — and within three days of returning home, he started watching clips from 47.
