Jon Lovett Joins 'Survivor' Season 47 Cast

The political podcaster and former Obama speechwriter steps into the reality TV spotlight.

Lovett, co-host of 'Pod Save America,' will compete against 17 others for the title of 'sole survivor' and a $1 million prize.
He draws parallels between his speechwriting career and the strategic gameplay required on 'Survivor.'
Lovett has no prior outdoor experience, adding to the challenge of the competition.
The new season premieres on September 18 with a special two-hour episode on CBS.
Lovett describes himself as 'best in small doses' and shares his excitement about the game.
