But Mike White has always had an affiliation with Survivor. For years, he had discussed creative choices with host and executive producer Jeff Probst, advising him on specific seasons. In Season 37, after years of watching at home, Mike decided to try his own hand at the island experience, playing in 2018's Survivor: David vs. Goliath. In an installment of the CBS reality series filled with colorful characters and iconic moments, Mike was one of its best players, laying low in the first half of the game until he delivered some precision blindsides towards the end. His skillfulness got him all the way to the Final Three, where he finished as runner-up of the season.
The full cast of Season 50 was announced on the Wednesday, May 28 edition of CBS Mornings. Following the video, Probst sat down with the hosts to discuss the biggest stories from the group of returning players. And, of course, conversation naturally turned to Mike White, and how he found his way from writing out backstabbing in beautiful environments to living in one once more.
"Mike, after he finished playing, said, 'I want to play again,'" Probst reveals. "And that was before White Lotus. And then White Lotus hit. And I thought, 'Well, he'll never play again.' But he kept texting and saying, 'Look, I'm serious. If you ever do anything where you have returning players, I want to play again.' So we're happy to have Mike."
"Don't think Mike White, who is clever enough to write and direct White Lotus, has not thought about that," he replies. "I'm sure it's gone through his head, too."
