Shark Week on Discovery Canada is promising to be JAW-SOME – the highly-anticipated specials are back starting on August 4th.
According to a press release, for 2013, Shark Week will build upon last year’s seven shark-filled programs, offering 11 new Shark Week specials as well as the first-ever late night LIVE “Shark Week” talk show. Now in its 18th year, Discovery Canada will premiere all the new episodes day-and-date with Discovery U.S. “Shark Week” broadcasts.
Each night of Shark Week will be capped by “Shark After Dark,” Discovery’s new late-night talk show airing at 11pm and hosted by comedian Josh Wolf, who will lead viewers through an hour-long celebration of all things shark-related with segments that highlight favourite moments from Shark Week. The nightly show will also feature unexpected guests, shark experts, shark attack survivors, and more.
