Tennis, Tequila and To-Do Lists: Inside a Day Off With ‘Survivor’ Host Jeff Probst
Jeff Probst takes Variety inside a usual day when he's not on set of 'Survivor' in Fiji
When he landed an Emmy nom for outstanding reality competition host — his first nod (and win) in the category since 2011 — I was eager to tell a story about who Probst is outside of the two seasons a year he films in Fiji. Because it requires strategy, he views the game as both fun and “a great stress reliever because you can’t really think about anything else.” If he can’t play with friends, he almost always hits a few balls on his tennis court during his second walk with the dogs, “while they lounge in the sun.” I’m going to put them on the whiteboard and take in the very first steps toward what I think will go down as the most enjoyable problem we’ve ever had to solve: How are you going to get this down to a handful of people to play ‘Survivor’ 50 that will satisfy the fans and will honor 50 seasons?”
