Jeff Probst Inks Daytime Deal with CBS
Jun 27, 2011

Jeff Probst -- no stranger to daytime since he often fills in on "Live with Regis and Kelly" — has signed a deal with CBS for a daytime program, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Anyone who has seen Jeff on 'Survivor' knows how he connects with people and has an instinct that makes him a natural and compelling host for daytime," said Aaron Meyerson, CBS president of programming and development.

"Whether it's a newsmaker of the day, a celebrity or ordinary folks, Jeff will go further than typical discussion."

Probst, who's won three Emmys for hosting "Survivor", will have an hourlong show starting in fall 2012.

"I'm fascinated with human nature and thrilled that this show will allow me the opportunity to connect with real people and explore their stories on a personal level," said Probst, who will remain with "Survivor".

Do we get to vote the guests off of his couch?

...because this means scheduling a daily Jeff Probst talk/interview series also means the cancellation of either two shows: "LET'S MAKE A DEAL" {and Wayne Brady's been feeling a bit "antsy" about leaving lately}....or "THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS" is the next daytime soap to get the ax.
