Survivor Jeff Probst Van Halen References
Well this was awesome – check out CBS’s Survivor Jeff Probst Van Halen references. There are three in pretty short order at the beginning of the immunity challenge:
Survivor Jeff Probst Van Halen References
Here’s the scene from Survivor – the first one “might as well Jump” is pretty quick, but the other two are a bit more subtle.
Did you catch all three?
Okay, here’s what I got:
- Might as well jump (at the beginning of the clip)
- Diver down (when they go down to release the balls)
- Somebody Get Me a Doctor (Van Halen 2 deep cut) Jeff makes the reference when they smack into the platform
Confession from Big Jim: I’m a HUGE Survivor fan, from the very first season with Richard Hatch winning (told you, I’ve watched them all). When I was younger there was always a thought of going on the show – I figured I could talk my way into the finals. But the evolution of the show and the cutthroat nature (they all lie from the moment the boat sets them on the island in Fiji) has made me a super fan who’d smack somebody if I was on there.

How big of a Van Halen fan is Jeff Probst?
Okay, so we know Survivor Jeff Probst Van Halen references were on the show…but is he REALLY a fan? I did some digging and found this clip of Jeff on stage with the Foo Fighters doing a little “Jump” – here you go!

Bottom Line from Big Jim
I don’t know any TV show (reality or otherwise) that’s ever worked in Van Halen references like that – nothing but love for Jeff Probst. I’m wondering if the producers realized what he was doing during the show (the first one was pretty obvious, but the other two were seamlessly worked into the show). BRAVO Survivor Jeff Probst Van Halen references – now work in some Zeppelin next!
