Will Ferrell will appear in a June episode of “Man Vs. Wild” as part of a synergistic alliance between Discovery and Universal Pictures.  The details, from Variety:

In the  episode, Ferrell joins Grylls in the far north of Sweden, where they spend 48 hours performing tasks such as rappelling down hundred-foot frozen waterfalls, tandem-abseiling off a helicopter and staying warm overnight in subzero temperatures. The two also find food in the forest, improvise snow shoes and drink their own urine.

“Will did an amazing job in subzero, very unforgiving conditions,” Grylls said. “He trusted me when it mattered, and we survived. … He should be very proud of how he performed.”

Phew!  They survived!  Those hard-ass producers put the lives of their show’s host and a huge Hollywood star in danger, but Bear Grylls came through when it mattered!  Bear should be proud.  Take the rest of the day off, bro.  Spoil yourself with a nice big slice of elephant crap.
