Probst: Survivor DEI Approach Unchanged Amid Paramount Rollback
Jeff Probst says Survivor's diversity, equity and inclusion approach remains unchanged, calling it one of the biggest positive changes in the show's history.
Jeff Probst says nothing has changed in how Survivor approaches diversity, equity and inclusion, even as Paramount has rolled back its own DEI initiative. The host called the show's approach one of the biggest positive changes ever for the series.
Survivor launched in 2000 and has reached its 50th season. Jesse Tannenbaum runs the show's casting team.
Paramount implemented a DEI initiative in 2020 and rolled it back last year. During its pursuit of FCC approval for the merger, Skydance pledged there would be no DEI policies under the Ellison family.
Survivor Season 51 airs Wednesdays at 8pm ET/PT on CBS and streams live on Paramount+. Deadline reported Probst's comments.
