In an interview withTV Insider,Probst finally addressed this burning question. When asked if he would ever step away from hosting duties to compete in the game, Probst’s response was clear and straightforward. He said:

You ask yourself, ‘How good are you at setting traps? Emotional traps or strategic ones? Can you persuade someone who they might not want to believe you? Can you cajole? Can you deflect?’ I like asking all of that stuff.

Fans may dream of seeing the veteran host tackle the challenges himself, but for now,Probstappears happy to remain behind the scenes, guiding others on their quest for the title of Sole Survivor.
