(Los Angeles) - SHARK WEEK, the only television event that takes your summer to fincredible oceans around the globe begins Sunday, July 28 and continues through Sunday, August 4 on Discovery Channel. This year, the pop culture phenomenon takes viewers on the ultimate 'Shark Trip' as actor, comedian and retired Marine Rob Riggle packs his bags and dives back into the water for a shark-filled adventure with some of his celebrity friends. SHARK TRIP: EAT. PREY. CHUM. is produced for Discovery Channel by record-breaking producer Will Packer, Will Packer Media, Anomaly Entertainment, and Haunted Steel Mill in association with Hazmat Productions. In addition, Riggle will do double duty as host of SHARK WEEK's late-night talk show SHARK AFTER DARK.

"Global Investigator", Rob Riggle (12 Strong, The Hangover and Rob Riggle's Ski Master Academy) enlists the help of four celebrity friends including Anthony Anderson (Black-Ish, To Tell The Truth and Beats), Adam Devine (HBO's The Righteous Gemstones), Joel McHale (ABC's Card Sharks and DC Stargirl), and Damon Wayans Jr. (New Girl and Let's Be Cops) for the ultimate guys trip. The trip is booked, the bags are packed, and the shark adventure is ready to begin - whether or not Rob's friends realize what they've signed up for.

"I'm a huge Shark Week fan and can't wait to dive back into the water with the oceans most magnificent creatures. It's going to be an epic 'Shark Trip' with some of my best buddies," said Rob Riggle.

"I brought Rob in for Shark Week last year and I'll be honest, I was kinda surprised he survived. So I thought what the heck, let's put together a Guys Trip and see if we can trick four other dudes into coming along with him this time," said Will Packer, executive producer and CEO of Will Packer Media.
