In a September 2012 Paramount Press Express release, Probst described how marriage and the children shaped his experience of becoming a parent and new husband. He said, “Once I got married and these great kids came into my life, I started realizing ‘God, there’s another part of my personality and I’m learning how to be a parent and a new husband and it seemed to fit in daytime and it felt like there was a conversation I could be a part of.’” Paramount Press Express published the remarks in 2012.
