Okay, so we hear this guy…

…may be tiring of having to say exciting lines like “The tribe has spoken” and “Survivors ready? Go!” 36-plus times a year. We know, we know, it’s a tough job, and like most actors, his true passion has always been directing. And we know, given that an “exciting new challenge” in your book is one that’s already been on the ten previous seasons, but this time is in a different country (or, for next season, at least has mostly different people). So we know you have trouble thinking outside the box, and coming up with creative, novel ideas.

With that in mind, we think you should consider the guy below as a potential Probst replacement. Here are a few reasons why:

- A Survivor host needs to be quick on his feet, and able to be articulate under the most trying of circumstances, to keep those Tribal Councils moving along. Ask anyone, you’ll find nobody better than the guy below at that.
- In order to empathize with the trying conditions in which the contestants find themselves, the host ought to have an implicit understanding of hard work, and making do in life with nothing but the barest essentials. Seems like a good match here!

So without further ado, here he is:
shrub

- Sure, he already has a job at the moment, but that will be done with, one way or another, in 3 years. Plus, taking 4 months off a year to film the show, plus making the various talk-show rounds and special appearances, shouldn’t be much of a problem.
- His wife has already appeared on a reality show. And as we all know, it’s not about your desire to be on this show, it’s about the people you know, or perhaps those your agent knows.

Most of all, who better to host a show that venerates lying and deception? Where the most successful are those that shield and promote their friends, then jettison them whenever it becomes expedient? Or perhaps ride the coattails of your friends while they shield you and backstab others?

We’re pretty sure he’ll come cheap.
