Hollywood Uncorked Podcast

As the longtime host and executive producer of Survivor, Jeff Probst has presided over his share of epic battles of will. But few have been as suspenseful or delightfully haphazard as this episode’s inaugural Hollywood Uncorked Blind Tasting Challenge! Joining a specially convened competition panel, Probst competes through four rounds of wine-tasting travails—from a blindfolded opening act to a wild finale that involves two players sampling the contents of the infamous dump bucket. Along the way, Probst spills some details about the upcoming season of Survivor: David vs. Goliath, discusses how he and Phil Keoghan of The Amazing Race almost ended up with each other’s jobs, and describes what really happened behind the scenes of the infamous 2008 Emmys he hosted alongside the other four nominees for best reality host.
