Just when you thought tv couldn't get any stranger.
I'm not sure when we'll see that on this side of the border. The last I checked, Discovery was showing old Man vs Wild episodes on Friday nights.
I'm not a big fan of Will Ferrell, but I hope Bear Grylls didn't get him killed. What I think would have been funny would be if they had sent Ferrell out with Sasha Baron Cohen posing as a survival expert. The problem with that is they two of them have made a movie together, so Ferrell would no doubt recognize Cohen.

It's called stunt casting.

So who would you like to see accompany Bear Grylls into the wild?
I'm thinking:
Paris Hilton Laughing

Bill, from "Adventures with Bill" on the Red Green Show Laughing

Ted Nugent (He might try to out Bear the Bear)
Michael Phelps (Bear just thinks he's a hotshot swimmer)
I'm sure I'll think of more later.

Here's another article on the show. It seems that it is indeed the pilot for a series where Bear Grylls takes various celebrities into the wilds, though only for 48 hours. No word on when it will be seen in Canada. All too soon is my guess.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK–The wilderness of northern Sweden, where Will Ferrell ate grilled reindeer eyeballs with adventurer Bear Grylls, seems a long way to go to promote a movie and test-drive a TV spinoff.

But that's where the two men were for 48 hours in early April, in harsh subzero temperatures. Their trip is chronicled on the Discovery Channel's Man vs. Wild series that debuts tonight at 10 p.m.

Ferrell climbs out of a helicopter by rope ("Mommy!" he shouts), is eased down a cliff supported by two sticks wedged in ice, trudges through waist-deep snow on snowshoes of twigs and spends a night with Grylls in a snow cave. Dinner, and breakfast the next morning, comes from the head of a reindeer carcass found along the way.

"Nine out of 10 actors would not do that," Ferrell deadpanned in an interview.

Ferrell wasn't familiar with Man vs. Wild, probably the looniest and most entertaining series in the adventurist genre, when his manager broached the idea. But the comic actor, who has run three marathons, warmed to the idea.

"I started watching it and thought, `This could be too crazy to say no to,'" he said.

All in the name of promotion, too: the Discovery episode airs three days before Ferrell's movie Land of the Lost hits theatres. Ferrell plays a scientist who has some close encounters with dinosaurs in a time warp adventure.

The network was mulling the idea of a celebrity version of Grylls' show, and considers the Ferrell episode a successful pilot.

For adventurous stars, it undoubtedly has greater cachet than a run on I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here.

Grylls stows away a Twinkie for Ferrell to get quick energy in a pinch. Of course, the actor downs it the minute Grylls first turns his back. "There were times when I thought, `I'm too tired to be funny right now. I'm too tired to be cold,'" Ferrell said.

Ferrell's toughest trick may have been his last: Having to use a rope ladder to climb into a helicopter at the end of the adventure.

"You had to use all your arm strength to get up," he said. "By the time I clipped in, I totally let go and was hanging upside down and laughing at myself, wondering how this was going to look."
