Former Obama Speechwriter & Pod Save America Co-Host Jon Lovett To Wash Ashore ‘Survivor’
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.
