When The White Lotus creator Mike White, 55, texted Survivor host Jeff Probst asking to be in the show’s 50th season, Probst responded as quickly as he could. “So I just want to be clear, we did not go ask Mike White, ‘please change your White Lotus schedule.’ He said, ‘I will change my White Lotus schedule if you’ll have me.’"White Lotus" earned 66 Emmy nominations for its first three seasons. If the trend continues, White Lotus viewers can expect to wait another 15 months before the show returns. In his first stint on "Survivor," White finished runner-up, narrowly losing in the final vote.
