Probst added, "You know, people start saying, ‘We should do something else.’ No, I want every single idea I have to go into this show because this is the show I work on."

"I didn’t understand the juggernaut that Survivor was out of the gate,” he said at the time. “I just thought it was popular, and that was cool, but I didn’t really understand the significance of the ratings and all that."

When Probst became the executive producer for the show in 2010, he realized Survivor had the potential for longevity in the industry.

“I realize, ‘Oh, this show could run until all humans die,’ ” he said. “Because the format is so simple: take a group of strangers, force them to work together while conspiring against each other, and in the end, the jury decides who wins. It’s just what you do with it inside that little box.”

Season 50 of Survivor airs on CBS and is available to stream on Paramount+.
