Jeff Probst Reveals Which Celebrity He Wants to See on Survivor

Jeff Probst thinks this celebrity is ready to outwit, outplay, and outlast.

After watching hundreds of players compete over 50 seasons of Survivor, the show’s host has one particular celebrity he’d love to see compete on the show in Fiji.

Jeff revealed to TopMob News at a PaleyLive event in New York City on March 10th that he and Adam Scott frequently text about the show, describing Scott as “so clever.”

The Severance actor has been a longtime fan of the show and has actually attended the live season finales for seasons 22 and 35.

I’m a huge fan of the show, and honestly, I’ve been hoping for a season with celebrities for ages! But if any non-celebrity contestant were to really shine, I’d bet on Adam. I heard the host, Jeff, say he thinks Adam has what it takes, even with his already successful career. Jeff even admitted he’d be glued to the screen watching Adam play – and I totally agree, I think he’d be amazing!

Jeff Probst isn’t the only person connected to Survivor who’s publicly supported a celebrity for a potential celebrity version of the show.

Cirie Fields, a contestant on Survivor 50, voted for Dakota Fanning. The winner of The Traitors season one explained her choice, saying she believes Fanning would be very successful in the game. She added that Fanning would likely make it to the final round, and the two of them could potentially work together strategically.

Rizo Velovic didn’t hesitate when asked about the casting, simply stating that John Cena belongs on the show Survivor.

Kyle Fraser, a former contestant on Survivor 50 who had to leave the game due to an Achilles tendon injury, believes André 3000 could be a strong contender. Fraser, who won season 48, told TopMob that André 3000 is “incredibly thoughtful” and would likely be a surprisingly good and creative player.

While fans wait to see if an all-star season happens, they can catch Survivor 50 live on CBS Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. Read on to find out who’s competing this season…
