36 seasons of Survivor. All hosted by Probst. Is there anyone who could replace him if he were to ever bow out of such a cush job?

At first I said no. But then I thought Colby Donaldson. He has Survivor cred and did an awesome job hosting Top Shot.

Is there anyone else?

Ed Orgeron. He seems to have a pretty good history of getting jobs he is not qualified for.

Rob Cesternino would probably be my number one choice based on his history on the show and extensive podcasting about it over the last decade or so. He's quick and funny enough to do a good job. Of course, Probst is never leaving and will do this until they cancel it.

It would be hard to. After 36 seasons he's only become better as hosting as the game has evolved. He knows exactly what questions to ask to make tribal turn into chaos. That's why I love the show so much. There are so many different ways to win, and there is a luck factor involved with hidden idols. No one strategy is the best strategy. Probst knows that and knows how to push buttons to make it interesting.

I think he even said he's not interested in ever leaving.

Wil Willis. He has the right voice and personality for it.

Why would he? He works like 6 hours a week while being flown out to awesome exotic locations for over a month, and is completely on the company dime during that. I’d love that job.

frick no. That mook's accent is horrible.

It would definitely have to be a past contestant though. I'm thinking either Colby, Malcolm, or Parvati.

[ETA: Cirie, Ethan, or Richard Hatch could pull it off too]

He's pretty involved in production, so he works way more than that. But I agree his job is pretty cush.

He's tried a couple of times and it hasn't worked out. I think he's accepted that this is his thing. He has talked about how it puts a strain on his family especially now that he has a kid.

Colby would be really good, idk about Rob C. As much as I love him I can't see him as a host.

It will probably be someone I can't stand like B Rob or Rupert

He is the modern day Dick Clark. I don't think he's hardly aged in the last ten years.

Yep. He doesn’t look much different than he did in 1998 when he was the host of Rock n Roll Jeopardy.
