Jeff Probst may host CBS’ top reality show but he didn’t have much luck in daytime. The Jeff Probst Show has been cancelled after one season.
Debuting last September, the new talk series just never caught on and couldn’t draw as many viewers as fellow newbies Katie, Trisha Goddard, and Steve Harvey. The Ricki Lake Show also began last fall, had a similar ratings problem, and was recently cancelled as well. Sophomore series Anderson Live won’t be back next fall either.
A spokesman for CBS Television Distribution said, “We believe Jeff is an incredible talent, and that he and his dedicated producing team delivered quality episodes throughout the season. Unfortunately, the audience isn’t there to support a second year… We are grateful to the entire staff, our affiliate partners and advertisers for their ongoing support of The Jeff Probst Show.”
Probst added, “I’m super bummed but extremely proud. The truth is all shows come to an end. Ours just ended a decade sooner than we had hoped.”
Original episodes will continue to run for the remainder of the season.
What do you think? Did you like The Jeff Probst Show? Why do you think it didn’t catch on? Just too much competition?

jeffs show with his wife was great. the thing that brought the show down was the two women they had on first thing on the show. I never watched the show until those women were gone. Then, the rest of the show was just great!
When was this on? I didn’t even know anything about Jeff Probst having a show or I would have been watching…. I’m sure ii’s no fault of his own. I would say it is the fault of the network and advertising… The public has to know of the existence of a show in order for it to be watched. Sorry Jeff. If I had known when your show was on, you would have had one more viewer and if the networks had done their job, probably a lot more.
Really enjoy this show. It’s about common but extraordinary people doing great things. They are not hawking a new book or CD release. Decision needs re-thinking!!
This was the ONLY positive daytime talk show that had interesting, thought provoking, and humane experiences pertrayed. Unfortunately most of the population has sick evil minds and it is those people that almost all media caters to.
This show is great. Please bring it back!! Thank you all.
Please keep Jeff Probst Show on. His show is interesting, his guests are also, and it’s just a fun show. I think it’s the best daytime show going and I just cannot understand why the network won’t pick it up for another season.
JEFF WILL BE MISSED THE SHOW WAS A GOOD ONE HOPE SOME WILL PICK UP FOR ANOTHER SEASON IT WENT TWO FAST JEFF GOOD LUCK DOWN THE ROAD MAX AND SHERRY GRAND BLANC MICH
The show was realalistic and sincere. Not like all the other talk shows (i.e. Dr. Phil) who are just in it to make the money and and sensasiolize and humilate the people that are being interviewed. Please bring the show back this fall.
I always enjoyed watching the show….the guests were great, his wife lovely and Jeff was very engaging with his guests….I will definitely miss it…sorry to see you go.. : (
I think they should rethink that and keep the show on. Jeff had a different kind of show not the same old thing. His show is great.
I love the Jeff Probst show. I am really going to miss it. It was so real!!
Finally, we (the audience) get a show that is so real and what happens. . .it doesn’t get renewed. Before you cancelled it, did it cross anyone’s mind that maybe another time slot would work. I loved learning about the “real” people out there who are doing amazing things for themselves and others. Unlike, these idiotic characters on the Housewives of the Self-Centered. Please some network pick this show up. . .this was so refreshing and Jeff Probst (after a slow start for me) ended up being my favorite show host ever.
PLEASE KEEP JEFF’S SHOW ON THE AIR!! Our family really enjoys the show! It has become a regular part of our family afternoons- and we really like Yvette. Jeff comes on at noon here, so he’s on our DVR, and we watch him later.
