A background in D.C. politics just might be better preparation for
Survivor
than any wilderness training, at least former Obama speechwriter
Jon Lovett
had better hope so.
Lovett, the speechwriter-turned-
Pod Save America
regular turned up in a rather unlikely place last night: The preview trailer for the Season 47 installment of CBS’
Survivor
.
Lovett was one of the new contestants revealed in the preview. “I have no outdoor skills,” he said, looking into the camera. “What am I doing here? I went camping as a cub scout. I threw up and went home.”
Watch the clip above.
Lovett was not identified in the preview, but his Crooked Media co-founder and former Obama colleague Jon Favreau pulled no punches, posting the show preview on X and writing, “What did I tell you? Eat Pray Lovett.”
Survivor
Season 47 premieres on CBS this fall.
