Tom Laidlaw on joining ‘Survivor: Island Of The Idols’

One year ago, “Survivor” host and executive producer Jeff Probst exclusively announced on ET Canada that Canadians could now starve on an exotic remote island and compete for a million dollars. Season 39 sees the first Canuck castaway we can all collectively root for – ex-NHLer Tom Laidlaw. Tune in to the premiere of “Survivor: Island of the Idols” on Wednesday, September 25, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Global.
