Today commences Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, and this year, comedian Andy Samberg has been appointed “Chief Shark Officer,” putting the SNL funnyman in deep sea peril.
In a stunt that brings new meaning to the phrase “jump the shark,” a Cape Cod man actually jumped on top of a shark, riding atop it for 15 feet through the ocean. Naturally, he got footage of the whole thing.
“I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this my whole life,” said fisherman Erik Jacobs, who spotted a basking shark swimming around his boat, and then pounced.
