"The Jeff Probst Show" Canceled

There won't be a second season of "The Jeff Probst Show". CBS Television Distribution said Wednesday that it has canceled the syndicated freshman talk show hosted by the "Survivor" veteran.

Jeff Probst’s daytime talker will not return even though it has a two-year deal for distribution on syndicated television. A victim of low ratings and an inability to stand out among so many shows, the series will finish its current run before leaving the schedule in the summer.



“We believe Jeff is an incredible talent and that he and his dedicated producing team delivered quality episodes throughout the season,” said CTD in a statement.

“Unfortunately, the audience isn’t there to support a second year. We are grateful to the entire staff, our affiliate partners and advertisers for their ongoing support of The Jeff Probst Show. Production and broadcast of original episodes will continue through the current season.”



Said Probst. “I'm super bummed but extremely proud. The truth is all shows come to an end -- ours just ended a decade sooner than we had hoped.”

Now if only his other show would be cancelled. I hate Survivor, without it hitting we wouldn't be flooded with reality shows today.

Color me...not shocked. Bring back Judge Jackie Glass!!!!!

Not surprised about this at all, the show was doomed to fail from the start when it was placed in syndication instead of network. If Probst had gotten the network slot instead of Steve Harvey, we'd be talking about Harvey's show being cancelled.

Survivor is still OK, but not as good as it used to be. They have added some new things to the show over the years, some good, some not so good. I think Survivor will run a couple more years, I would be surprised if it lasts much longer than that.

You know, I'm not so sure. I think Steve Harvey's show would have done better than Probst's regardless if it was a network or a syndicated show.

To a certain extent you may be right, Steve Harvey has that comedian personality that's needed to be a successful talk show host. Probst is mostly a play it straight type of guy, the type of personality more suitable to host a show like Survivor. But Probst's talk show was put behind the 8 ball from the start being placed in syndication. In network, it's possible the show wouldn't have made it either, but it would have had a better chance to succeed.

Alas, we'll never know! I'm surprised that Ricki Lake's new show didn't do better, to tell the truth.

His show wasn't too bad.

Catsrule, your preaching to the choir here. If there was no Survivor we wouldn't have as many reality shows, which is a good thing.
