Jeff Probst Celebrates Emmy with New Survivor

Originally posted 09/29/2008 12:25PM

A week after winning the inaugural Emmy Award for outstanding reality host, Survivor's Jeff Probst is still staring incredulously at the statuette in his living room.

"It didn't hit me 'til the other day," Probst tells PEOPLE. "I came downstairs and I had my tux still slung over the couch and the Emmy still sitting on a coffee table with a piece of paper with my name on it."

Adds Probst, "We won an Emmy a few years ago for the show but this one, as an individual award, it feels good. I am so proud of it. I'm not embarrassed to say I left it out on the coffee table!"

At one of the after-parties on Sunday night, "Kristin Chenoweth and I hung out with Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka and they were so gracious," Probst says.

After spending a morning in the heat and humidity filming a challenge for Survivor: Gabon, show host Jeff Probst arrived back to production's base camp to find 75 e-mails telling him that he'd just been nominated for an outstanding reality host Emmy Award.

But that wasn’t all he heard.

"The funniest part of the whole announcement to me was hearing that I was getting married!" says Probst, speaking to PEOPLE from Gabon, after Pushing Daisies actress Kristin Chenoweth, who'd announced the nominations Thursday morning, also let slip that four years ago, she and the "cute" Probst had once dated – but now he was set to wed some other woman.

Taking a breather from promoting her movie Monster-in-Law, Jennifer Lopez headed to Florida, one of her favorite places to recharge. (She bought an 11-bedroom mansion in Miami Beach three years ago and sold it last month for $14 million.) First order of business: some retail therapy at Bal Harbour Shops, an upscale outdoor mall in Bal Harbour, Fla., where she picked up items at Neiman Marcus and Intermix.

TEASED: Regis Philbin, 73, introduced Jeff Probst, 43, on Tuesday's Live with Regis & Kelly with more than a suggestion that the Survivor host (who has subbed for Reege in the past) was being groomed to take over for Philbin when he retires. "This is a guy who would kill to sit here every day," Philbin said on camera, before telling cohost Kelly Ripa that Probst "sits here and he looks at you – the whole thing is developing before your eyes." Replied Ripa: "I think a little jealousy is what we're watching unfold." A spokesperson for the Live told the New York Post after the show aired: "Regis was kidding around with a friend of the show, and it's nothing more than that."
