| # | Quote |
|---|
| 1 | [on his new (2012) show] If you're looking for Jerry or Maury this isn't your show. We aren't looking for people fighting onstage or paternity testing. |
| 2 | [When asked how he got promoted from being host to host/producer]: That's an easy one for me. Good hosts, in reality, are producers. You can't just host a show. Moments happen. You have a reveal on The Biggest Loser (2004), your host, if they're any good, has to be able to turn that into a moment. Tom Bergeron, that's how he's made his living -- taking a tiny little thing and making it into a moment. Not too much, just a little button. |
| 3 | Look at American Idol (2002). It broke its own rule. You have certain rules on your show -- you can't do this, you can do that. On Survivor (2000), it would be the contestants who vote each other out. On "Idol", the No. 1 rule is the audience decides who wins. And what does "Idol" do? They break the rule. They decide: "Unless we decide to save someone". They do it and not only does it work, they get a standing ovation. |
| 4 | [on the death of Jennifer Lyon, who was one of his contestants]: Over the past several weeks we had some beautiful talks about life and death. Jenn was so willing to share what she was feeling, including the very real and very scary parts of dealing with terminal cancer. |
| 5 | [on defining his show Survivor (2000)]: At its heart, Survivor is not about personality types. Human nature is unpredictable. It's endlessly fascinating - and it's that unpredictability, I think, that has kept Survivor going as long as it has. I know, speaking for myself, that's what's kept me so involved in the show over the years. Human nature is a constant mystery. |
| 6 | [on Amber Mariano]: If you had told me, at the beginning of All-Stars, that Amber would win, I wouldn't have believed you. Amber was helpless in Australia. She didn't have a clue out there; she was completely at the mercy of the elements. And then she goes out and wins All-Stars. That tells you right there how unpredictable this game is. And it's the reason, frankly, why I think so many people have kept watching us. |
| 7 | [When he thought that The Amazing Race (2001), would win the Emmy for Best Reality/Competition Program for the seventh year]: Maybe "Amazing Race" should do what Oprah did and pull itself out of competition. |
| 8 | I have to say and you've probably heard this, a million times, Jerry Maguire (1996), one of the best... for the equation of on-screen time vs. memorable role, you got to be in the Top 10 of All Time, that is fantastic. |
| 9 | [on injuries sustained during the filming of Survivor (2000)]: [During] Survivor: Borneo, I was stung in the nether regions by a jellyfish. During Survivor: Australia I peed on an electric fence and it sent a shock back to the point of origin. I also got stung by a scorpion. He crawled right up my boot and planted one on my Achilles' heel. |
| 10 | [on having been associated with Survivor (2000)]: In the grand scheme of things, professionally it's given me huge awareness with the industry and the public, which only translates into a longer career and more money if you don't screw it up. |
| 11 | I'm not one of these guys who says 'Now I'm on a really hot show. Better quit soon before I get labeled.' That's the most ridiculous notion I'd ever heard. |
| 12 | Right off the bat, we send all the castaways on an 11-mile trek through the jungle. It starts one minute into show and finishes the next day. People are getting sick and everything. You'll see. |
