Emmy Award-winning host and executive producer Jeff Probst, recently appeared on the 24th installment of the phenomenally successful CBS series, "Survivor."

In addition, his new nationally syndicated daytime talk show, "The Jeff Probst Show," premieres September 10, 2012.

Probst is a four-time Emmy Award winner for "Outstanding Reality Host" on “Survivor,“ and has traveled the world serving as both host and executive producer. Probst received an Emmy in 2001 when the show won the first ever "Outstanding Non-Fiction Program (Special Class)."

Also, Probst is a feature film director. In 2002, he wrote and directed "Finder's Fee," starring
Ryan Reynolds, James Earl Jones, Robert Forster and Matthew Lillard. The film won many awards and thanks to its critical success, Probst was selected as one of 2001's "Ten Directors to Watch" in a series presented by the American Cinematheque showcasing innovative and exciting new directors from around the world.

Most recently, he produced and directed the feature film "Kiss Me," starring John Corbett, Sarah Bolger, Rita Wilson, Emily Osment, Missi Pyle and Jenna Fisher.

Probst was a guest co-host on "Live with Regis and Kelly," and a regular guest host for Larry King on "Larry King Live."

Probst hosts the "Howard Stern Celebrity Fan Roundtable" for Howard Stern on Sirius/XM radio and served as host of VH1's "Rock and Roll Jeopardy." He has hosted several programs for FX and traveled around the world as a correspondent for "Access Hollywood."

In 2001, he was voted one of People Magazine's "Most Beautiful."

In 2007, Probst founded The Serpentine Project, a non-profit organization designed to help young adults transition out of the foster care system. In 2011, they joined forces with the larger non-profit organization, The Alliance for Children's Rights, which has provided 100,000 kids in L.A. with free legal assistance and advocacy. Each season, "Survivor" memorabilia is auctioned off and, to date, the auctions have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the organization.
