While still relatively unlikely, there is a possibility that Survivor could do a celebrity edition one day.

Survivor has had a handful of players over the years who were known in the public sphere, like Lisa Whelchel, Jimmy Johnson, Cliff Robinson and Scot Pollard, but the producers have never conducted a full-on celebrity season.

However, the idea is not completely off the table. Survivor host Jeff Probst spoke with Entertainment Weekly recently and addressed the possibility of doing a shorter season with celebs.

"I don't think it's dead, even though I've said it's dead because Mark Burnett has told me it's dead," Probst revealed. "I think the only way 'Celebrity Survivor' works is if for some reason there was an event and you had momentum for the country - a benefit or something where enough celebrities said, 'All right, I'll give you six days.' And we'll do six episodes. We'll vote someone out every night. I think we could do that."

So who would do a "Celebrity" Survivor season? There are plenty of celebrities that are fans of the show, like Neil Patrick Harris, Mayim Bialik, Adam Scott, Jenna Fischer and Yvette Nicole Brown, but Probst may be thinking even bigger.

"I think we could get some cool people," Probst said. "But they would have to have a reason to leave their life behind and take a week off from work. Guys like Jimmy Fallon - he is a fan. He'll send me emails and say, 'Oh my God, that was a great episode.' But Jimmy Fallon hosts a gigantic show. There's no way he's leaving for six days if he has six days off. But maybe one day. And we've worked on a format that we could do that would be super fast. You could still have an hour to check in with your manager if you need to, but we'll still kick your a-."

Do you think a "Celebrity" Survivor season is a good idea?
