If you want a generation defining event, this is it In fact I'd call it a
national tragedy. According to my reports, the beloved
The Jeff Probst Show has
been canceled. Wait, are those howls of indignation I hear? You don't
believe me? I ain't lying to you! This news befell the nation on
Valentine's Day. It's good in a sense, I won't have to think about my
lack of a love life on that day, I'll think about a cancelled television
program. This show is as good as any.
You know, it all seemed so easy once upon a time.
The Jeff Prosbt Show debuted in September of
1885 2012.
The early episodes showed a smarter talk show. The early "classic"
episodes were intelligent and unique with Probst covering a multitude
of topics such a dating woes and things from a male point of view. And
then it didn't.
In fact, the show never did attract a constant audience and went through
many permutations until it settled on a constant: Total chaos. And
guess what? By December,
the Jeff Probst Show was letting people go left and right. The public never knew but the shifts was seen onscreen.
It all wasn't a tragedy though.
The Jeff Probst Show brought the likable Lisa Whelchel on as a co-host a few times.
Community's Yvette
Nicole Brown also appeared. While neither of them (or Lisa Ling) were
named as a co-host, it did give the audience a sense of how the show
would have gone if it didn't get drop kicked off the air.
Mistakes: Quite a few. The biggest one was probably not
officially making Lisa Whelchel a co-host. Probst seemed to light up
with her talking about basically nothing and that's always fun TV.
CBS Entertainment says the show will complete its first and (chokes back sob) only season.
Grade: ***

As long as he keeps doing his single Survivor trick over and over and over again, people will lap it up. This is why the show failed — because he thought he could have his cake and eat it, too. The fact that Survivor airs twice a year should have tipped him off the suits didn’t want him getting any ideas of spreading his wings.
