LOS ANGELES, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. television network CBS says it has signed a new agreement with Emmy Award-winning host Jeff Probst for the 2010-11 broadcast season.

Probst, who has served as host of "Survivor" since its inception, will return as host and executive producer for the 21st and 22nd installments of broadcast television's longest-running reality competition series.

"I am thrilled to continue working with (the) 'Survivor' family for another year. Even in my wildest dreams, I couldn't have predicted we'd still be going strong 10 years later," Probst said in a statement Tuesday.

"Jeff is an amazing creative talent and an integral part of the 'Survivor' team -- both on camera and, equally as important, as a producer," said Executive Producer Mark Burnett. "For 20 seasons, he has earned the trust of the audience and the respect of 'Survivor's' castaways. We are excited that he will continue with the show for another year and together our team will provide the high-quality entertainment our fans have grown to expect."
