Extended interview: “Survivor” host and showrunner Jeff Probst

Probst, who is also the series showrunner, discusses the improvisational nature of the series as a study of human behavior; the unseen operations of the base camp behind the scenes; how psychology plays into the show’s storytelling, including borrowing tactics used in police interrogation videos in his role as host; and the strength of diversity in the show’s casting process.
