Yahoo Lifestyle 'Big Brother' Winner Dr. Will Kirby Steps Down From Hosting Jury Roundtable
The end of an era? Dr. Will Kirby, who won season 2 of Big Brother and has hosted the jury roundtable on and off for more than a decade, is stepping away.
The celebrity dermatologist confirmed the news exclusively to Parade as the network is currently airing its 26th season of the long-running reality competition series.
"I can confirm that I will not be serving as the Big Brother jury roundtable host this season," Kirby said in a statement. "It's simply time to hang up the proverbial cleats. The run I've had on the show, first as contestant and then as a host, is practically unheard of but nothing last forever; I am ready to pass the reality television baton!"
The jury roundtable is a segment taped and then shown during the finale where evicted houseguests get to sit down and discuss who they each think should ultimately win the $750,000 prize.
Kirby started hosting the segment back in 2013 during season 15 of the show and continued the gig on and off up until season 25 last summer. They went without a host due to COVID-19 for seasons 22 and 23, though he did appear as the "neighbor" for part of a twist in the all-star edition.
CBS has not yet commented or announced who will be stepping in his place to host.
Big Brother airs Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays on CBS.
