"At this point, yes,” Probst tells EW of hosting the CBS reality show for at least five more years. “But I don’t like the pressure being that it’s all on me. That doesn’t feel great. I want to do it because we as a group want to keep doing it and keep finding ways to reinvent it.” Probst adds that there is a "complicated math idea" to when Season 50 will actually air since Seasons 41 and 42 have been on hold due to the coronavirus. Probst adds that him sticking around will require Survivor -- which celebrates its 20th anniversary on May 31 -- to constantly evolve and reinvent itself. “The thing that keeps me up at night is ‘What, are we going to do next?’" he says. "It’s why I’m sensitive to the constant criticism of ‘Well, I don’t know if I like that idea. Well, I’m not sure if I like that.’ ‘Cause you want to say, ‘Well, what’s your idea? What should we do?’ And then people pitch and you go, ‘Yeah, here’s why that doesn’t work.’”
