Jeff Probst watches police interrogation videos in his downtime

Jeff Probst, who has hosted CBS's "Survivor" since it premiered in 2000, told Business Insider about his daily routine while filming the show's landmark fiftieth season. He said, "If I have 15 minutes, my go-to is going to be a police interrogation, almost always." Probst said he watches real interrogation videos on YouTube because he loves studying how detectives work.

"You are watching a human walk into a room wondering, how much do these detectives know? What they don't know is in most cases, the detective knows a lot more than you think, but they want to see what you're willing to share," he explained. He described watching "a great detective or a team of detectives slowly build this box, and the box gets smaller and smaller and the guilty person starts to realize, 'I'm never going home.
