After 20 years and 40 seasons of hosting the CBS hit Survivor, Jeff Probst is being honored by the Critics' Choice Real TV Awards with its Impact Award.
He didn't get his award in person; the 2020 event was canceled in favor of a June 29 press release. But that's fine with Probst.
He explained why in an interview with THR, where he also discussed the future of Survivor amid the coronavirus pandemic and how the Black Lives Matter movement will affect casting.
How do you feel about receiving an award this way rather than at an in-person show? I'm actually much more comfortable receiving an award virtually than I would be in person.
