Colby Donaldson

Donaldson prominently appeared as himself on an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. On May 22, 2019, he began hosting duties on the competition series The Butcher on the History Channel.

On September 24, 2016, he married his long term girlfriend, model Britt Bailey.

In the official issue of CBS Watch magazine, commemorating the 15th anniversary of Survivor in 2015, all three of Donaldson's seasons were voted by viewers as being among the top ten greatest seasons of all time - All-Stars came in sixth, Australia came in fourth, and Heroes vs. Villains was ranked #1. In another poll for the same magazine, Donaldson was voted as the second most attractive male contestant in Survivor history, only behind Malcolm Freberg of Survivor: Philippines and Survivor: Caramoan. Donaldson was one of only two three-time contestants to appear in this list, the other being Ozzy Lusth (one spot below him).

Near the end of the competition, he won the final immunity challenge, over former allies Wesson and Famie. As a result, he was given the choice of whom to face in the jury vote. He had formed an alliance with Wesson early in the show and stated that he wanted to see that through. He also said that he did not want Famie to have a shot at winning the title. In the end, Donaldson cast his vote to eliminate Famie, who was generally disliked, and who Donaldson perceived as less deserving to win the title of Sole Survivor, should Donaldson not win himself. Ultimately, Donaldson finished in second place, with Wesson winning in a 4–3 vote, earning the votes from Brkich along with former Kucha members Nick Brown and Rodger Bingham.

Donaldson participated in Survivor: All Stars, six seasons later. He was on the Mogo Mogo tribe and was the fifth person voted out with a 3–2 vote. He was the seventh overall to leave the game due to Jenna Morasca and Sue Hawk voluntarily leaving. At Survivor: America's Tribal Council, Donaldson was voted by an online poll as the "sexiest male castaway" out of all players from the first eight seasons.

Donaldson hosted Top Shot, which premiered on June 6, 2010 on the History Channel, for five seasons.

Donaldson inspired Survivor: Caramoan contestant Sherri Biethman to name her son after him. It is estimated that over 2,000 babies were given the name Colby in 2001 because of Donaldson's popularity.
