Jeff Probst lands CBS Talk Show

Jeff Probst joins Anderson Cooper and Katie Couric on the daytime talk show hosting circuit. His new show will premiere in the fall of 2012.

It's still a long way away, but I'm going to watch this. Jeff has a way of getting "things" out of people on Survivor, so his talk show should be interesting.

From TV Line:

Probst has inked a deal with CBS Distribution to headline a syndicated daytime gabfest beginning in fall 2012, but that doesn’t necessarily mean his Survivor days are numbered. The Emmy winner will likely shoot the reality juggernaut during his talk show’s summer hiatus.

“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,” Probst says. “As I continue with Survivor, I am excited to extend my relationship with CBS with this new adventure in the world of daytime.”
