Why do the Emmys hate Jeff Probst?
I can't believe I have to do this again. I thought reason, common sense, and justice would prevail. I figured there was no way such a national injustice already stretching seven long years could somehow stretch another five. I put my faith in the people, and the people failed me. Considering the "people" in question were Emmy voters, perhaps I should not be so surprised.
So let me ask again: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!? I'm referring, of course, to the Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Series category and the fact that the best reality host on the planet has not only not won in 12 years, but has not even gotten a nomination. And that host is Survivor master of ceremonies and orange hat enthusiast Jeff Probst.
What gives? I mean, we already went over this! I wrote a screed back in 2018 illustrating this epic absurdity, and yet here we are again. For those of you too busy to click on the above link, allow me to refresh your memories with a bit of history.
The Emmys first created the reality host award in 2008. The winner? Jeff Probst. In 2009? Probst again. 2010? You guessed it… Probst. 2011? Yet another trophy for Probst. It's no wonder the torch-snuffer extraordinaire kept winning. He was the only

Jeff Probst reacts to first Survivor hosting Emmy nomination in 13 years
There was a time when all Jeff Probst did was win Emmy awards. The host and showrunner for Survivor was the winner of the somewhat awkwardly named Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program for the first four years the award was given out, taking home the trophy from 2008 through 2011.

Never mind that the OG reality master of ceremonies was the only host working out in the elements (in a monsoon, in over 100 degree weather, getting knocked over by waves, etc…), and never mind that he did it all without an earpiece feeding him lines and info from a producer.
