Jeff has the ingredients to become an instant asset to stations and provide a strong lead in to their newscasts."

"I'm fascinated with people," Probst said. "And I love adventure. I can't wait to bring these two worlds together in daytime, and the added bonus is I get to continue with 'Survivor' in primetime."
