The Rundown: We Should Let (Or, If Necessary, Make) Matt Berry Host Shark Week

The Rundown is a weekly column that highlights some of the biggest, weirdest, and most notable events of the week in entertainment. The number of items could vary, as could the subject matter. It will not always make a ton of sense. Some items might not even be about entertainment, to be honest, or from this week. The important thing is that it’s Friday, and we are here to have some fun.

Well, guess what: Shark Week is here. Soon. Not yet. Shark Week is at the end of this month, as it is every summer, and it is loaded with all the shark-related programming you can handle. The Jackass boys are back for another go-round, which is good, because last time they did a Shark Week show a dude named “Poopies” got bit by a shark. There’s a show called “Air Jaws: Top Gun,” which is part of the long tradition of “Air Jaws” programming and is therefore incredible. There’s one called “Pigs vs. Shark,” which sounds like a pretty one-sided contest if they hold it in the ocean, but still. I’ll watch. I doubt anything they can do will top the time Guy Fieri swam with sharks, although there is one show called “Sharks! With Tracy Morgan,” so let’s not jump to conclusions just yet. I already have my DVR set for that one.

The whole thing needs a host, though, and this year those responsibilities will be handled by one Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, as he announced, himself, on Twitter.
