Will Ferrell to Appear in Episode of “Man Vs. Wild”

As part of a crossover promotion between Discover and Universal Pictures, Will Ferrell, who is appearing in Universal’s ‘Land of the Lost’ later this Summer, will be making an appearance on Discovery Channel’s “Man Vs. Wild.”   Discovery made the announcement today at its upfront presenation in Los Angeles.

The episode, which will air in early June and has already filmed, will feature Ferrell joining Bear Grylls in northern Sweden.   The two spend 48 hours in the wild trying to keep warm, improvising snow shoes and drinking their own urine.   The two also share in a meal of reindeer eyeballs.

Ferrell referred to the journey as a “a thrill of a lifetime, even though I did get urine-drunk, which is sad.†

“Will did an amazing job in sub-zero very unforgiving conditions,† Grylls said. “He trusted me when it mattered and we survived… He should be very proud of how he performed.†

‘Lands of the Lost’ comes out on June 5th.
