(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.

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.
