Jeff noted he’s “so grateful” Mike agreed to return for the show’s 50th season, especially after years of Jeff indicating to the School of Rock writer that he probably wouldn’t get another go after his season 37 appearance.
And while Jeff is finally ready to see his friend compete once more, he’s not the only one, adding, “people are really excited to see him play.”
“The thing that’s most interesting about Mike playing for the second time is there is no hiding that he is the biggest writer, director, show creator in the world right now, and he wanted to come back and play Survivor,” Jeff said. “So I can understand why people had a reaction.”
