Butters: I HOPE YOU'VE GOT
YOUR SCUBA GEAR ON
BECAUSE, LIKE MY CAREER,
WE'RE TAKING A DIVE.
ON TODAY'S EPISODE, IT'S ANOTHER
INSTALLMENT OF CLOSE CALLS,
PLUS, A LOOK AT
A "SHARK WEEK" HERO.
AND WE PUT JORDAN TO THE TEST.
THERE ARE 15 DAYS
TO "SHARK WEEK",
AND THIS IS "THE DAILY BITE."
CHOMP CHOMP, AND WELCOME
TO "THE DAILY BITE,"
A SHOW WHERE WE
ALL JOIN TOGETHER
AS ONE AND WORSHIP
THE GREAT BIG SHARK.
LONG LIVE THE GREAT SHARK.
MAY THE SHARK'S REIGN
BE GOOD AND EVERLASTING.
IF IT PLEASES THE SHARK,
WE'LL GO AHEAD
AND JUMP RIGHT IN.
THANK YOU, GREAT BIG SHARK.
BROTHER BUTTERS?
ROLL THE TAPE.
OH, MY GOD!

Butters: DOCTOR GRUBER'S TEAM
HAS PROVEN THROUGH TAGGING
AND DNA THAT THESE JUVENILES
WILL RETURN TO THIS SITE
AS PREGNANT MOTHERS.
NOW HE'S MOVING ON
TO BIGGER FISH -- LITERALLY.
Gruber: THE TIGER SHARK --
WHEN THEY COME AND BITE,
THEY DON'T LET GO.
WHEN THEY GRAB A TURTLE,
THEY JUST HANG ON
TO THAT TURTLE,
AND THEY BITE DOWN ON IT,
AND THEY SHAKE IT.
SO YOU REALLY DON'T WANT
TO GET BIT BY A TIGER SHARK.
YOU'RE EITHER GOING TO DROWN
OR YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE A LIMB,
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO LET GO.
THERE'S A SHARK, RIGHT THERE.
WE NEED TO PUT ONE PERSON
ON THE BOW.
NO.
WRONG SIDE, WRONG SIDE.
ALL RIGHT, DON'T PULL HIM.
LET HIM LOOSE.
THERE WE GO.
Man: READY, DOC?
READY TO ROLL.
ALL RIGHT, HE'S TAGGED.
I THINK IT'S A SHE.
IT'S A SHE.
IT'S A SHE.
WE NEED A GENETIC SAMPLE,
AND WE'RE READY.
GOT IT.
WHOA!
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
THAT WAS JUST AWESOME.
OVER THE 30 YEARS
OF "SHARK WEEK,"
WE'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW
SOME OF THE HEROES
OF OCEANOGRAPHY AND ICHTHYOLOGY,
ALSO KNOWN AS MARINE BIOLOGY.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT ONE
OF THESE IN A SEGMENT WE CALL
"'SHARK WEEK' HERO."
YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE,
RIGHT?
Kurr: NO. THIRD ONE.
STILL, MAN, YOU WENT --
YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT MADE IT REALLY --
THE GUY THAT NOT ONLY TRULY
KICKED IT OFF,
BUT MADE IT POPULAR --
JEFF KURR.
MY PERSONAL "SHARK WEEK" HERO
IS JEFF KURR.
I GREW UP WATCHING THIS GUY ON
TELEVISION, AND IT INSPIRED ME.
SO MY HERO IN "SHARK WEEK" WOULD
DEFINITELY HAVE TO BE JEFF KURR.
I MEAN, NOT ONLY HAS HE BEEN
FILMING "SHARK WEEK"
FOR THE LONGEST AND MY
FAVORITE SERIES OF ALL TIME IS
"AIR JAWS," HE'S SORT OF
LIKE A MENTOR TO ME.
HE'S BEEN DOING IT THE LONGEST,
BUT ALSO HE'S INSPIRED
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
BY SHOWING THEM
THE MAGNIFICENT CREATURE
THAT IS THE GREAT WHITE SHARK.
I'M DONE.
I'M NOT GETTING BACK ON.
I'M DONE. I'M OUT.

Man: HEY, JORDAN.
HOW MANY SHARK FACTS
