While Survivor 50 has been officially branded “In the Hands of the Fans,” ever since December, we’ve known that some particularly famous fans have more of their hands in the process than others. The milestone season of the CBS reality series has enlisted the help of some notable celebrity names in doing-never-before-seen things on the show. Zac Brown, for instance, showed up for the biggest reward of the season, as the country singer served the castaways up a fish feast he caught himself. Then, of course, there’s the “Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol,” a new cross-tribal twist on the game-changing trinket courtesy of the pop icon.

Now we have confirmation of the next star who is going to have their fingerprints on Survivor 50: Jimmy Fallon.

The Tonight Show host’s involvement in the season was confirmed back when the trailer first debuted, as Christian Hubicki vaguely says, “Jimmy Fallon may decide my fate in this game.” And, after months of speculation, the SNL alum spoke out about his role while sitting down with Abbott Elementary star Quinta Brunson.

“I find out we have more and more things in common every time you come on the show,” he tells the Emmy winner during her Monday night appearance on his show. “I know that we’re both fans of the show Survivor.”

“I love Survivor,” she affirms. “I love it.”

“I’m going to be on it Wednesday!” he states.

“That’s really cool. I’m not jealous,” she clearly downplays.

He then explains, “Jeff Probst was on the show. I always pitch him ideas. He ignores them. They’re terrible ideas. He gave me his number.”

“I wish I had his phone number,” Brunson replies.

“I’ll give it to you,” he affirms. “The whole audience will get Jeff Probst’s phone number on the way out.”

He then continues, “So I go, ‘I gotta be part of this [‘In the Hands of the Fans’] thing.’ The producers are geniuses over there. They send me these ideas, I go, ‘Yep.’ So I’m part of an advantage.”

While assumed previously, this confirms that, unlike Brown and upcoming guest MrBeast, Fallon will not be making an on-island appearance. Instead, like Eilish, the role he’ll play is in abstentia, instead putting his name behind an advantage being introduced into the game. While Fallon was mum about what exactly that advantage is, the press release for this week’s Survivor episode makes mention of a journey, and that, upon returning to the camp, the person who participates “must read aloud an important announcement regarding their recent adventure.” Perhaps his twist involves yet another scramble through the jungle, in the hopes of not letting your game get dictated by the man behind Taxi and Fever Pitch?

Some fans may not know, however, that this is not the first time a facet of the game will be determined by Jimmy Fallon. Back in Island of the Idols, Survivor‘s 39th season, the titular twist involved legendary players Boston Rob Mariano and Sandra Diaz-Twine living on a separate island, occasionally teaching select castaways tips and tricks to hopefully take home the win. Part of their duties involved observing Tribal Councils, which they did from a secret box on the set. When Parade got the chance to go out onto set for Island of the Idols, Probst revealed that the idea surprisingly came from the Emmy and Grammy winner.

“The idea to bring them into Tribal Council actually came from an idea that Jimmy Fallon had about two or three years ago,” Probst said at the time. “He said, ‘You should have a secret viewing booth where somebody can listen to Tribal, but not have anyone know they’re there.’ We couldn’t figure out how to make it work, but we knew it was a super cool idea. Then when we had this idea, and it started gaining momentum, we said, ‘That’s what we do. We also let them watch, but nobody knows they’re there.’ It’s the Jimmy Fallon Secret Viewing Booth.”

Due to his role in the episode’s events, Fallon also teases to Brunson that he had seen an advanced screening of what happens this week. While he remains mum on the details, he was positively giddy as he forecasts, “Something goes down. It’s gonna be nuts!” We shall see what that entails exactly, and whether Fallon’s new advantage will keep these players’ heads spinning more than a Wheel of Celebrity Impressions.
