Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt tackles Kenya's unyielding terrain with Bear Grylls. Dropped into the elements from a helicopter, Joseph and Bear navigate a perilous rappel, milk a camel for needed hydration, and ascend a massive rock dome that tests Joseph's fear of heights like nothing before. As the duo battles a crocodile for the remains of a water buffalo that is their only hope for dinner, Joseph details his rise to fame and his efforts to honor the memory of his beloved brother.
2 Keri Russell

Actress Keri Russell joins Bear on an epic journey to the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa. After battling the dangerous, rolling rocks of a massive volcano, the duo descend into a mysterious canyon where they source a meager dinner of undigested seeds from a pigeon carcass, and test their luck with a grappling hook to escape the towering canyon walls. Later, after a cringe-worthy breakfast of crickets, Keri and Bear make a daring escape from a mountain peak using a paraglider. Along the way, Keri reveals her path to fame, her love of family, and the playful struggles of co-starring alongside her husband.
3 Lena Headey

Bear takes Lena on the ride of her life as they paramotor deep into the remote Spanish wilderness. Continuing on foot, they traverse a towering, razor-thin ridge before a dead-end forces a harrowing rappel. After securing a dinner of bone marrow from a goat carcass, the two must cross a lake using a makeshift raft as an unexpected storm wreaks havoc. As they battle the elements, Lena grants us exclusive details of life on "Game of Thrones," her rise to stardom, and her battle to overcome depression.
4 Don Cheadle
6/18/18
Dropped from a helicopter into unyielding terrain, Don and Bear get creative with a deer antler to cross a raging river, rappel a massive cliff, and attempt a commando-worthy climb to the top of a towering railroad bridge. But the discovery of a rotting porcupine carcass, which Bear eyes for dinner, will raise Don's pulse like nothing else. Along the way, Don details his family-oriented home life, the ups and downs of a legendary career, and the secretive workings of a Marvel movie set.
5 Derek Hough

"World of Dance" judge Derek Hough joins Bear on a whirlwind adventure across the mountains of Bulgaria. Dropped amidst snow-capped peaks, Derek and Bear must ascend a jagged mountain ridge, make a steep rappel with Derek's cell phone as their only safety, and swim a freezing lake to reach their destination. But a surprise, death-defying final challenge will test Derek like nothing before. Along the way, Derek reveals his struggles with being bullied as a child, his devotion to his craft, and teaches Bear some much-needed dance moves.
6 Scott Eastwood

7 Roger Federer

8 Uzo Aduba
7/15/18
Dropped amidst snow capped mountains, Uzo and Bear move quickly as a storm sets in, sending hail, lightning and flash floods their way. Along the way they come face to face with a poisonous viper, get creative to secure a dinner of field mice, and use a crossbow to zip line across a 250 ft. drop. Despite the elements, Uzo shines as she recounts her long road to fame, her family's emigration from Nigeria, and her pride in representing the American dream.

I like this faux adventure/reality show. The celebs are entertaining but probably edited to make them look brave and capable.(Show may edit out guest screams and "I am scared and will not do that" type comments.) But guests have to have the guts to go on the show. Good show!

What more can I say. Channing is the MAN. I would drop everything no matter. To see his movies are do anything to meant him. That's last on my bucket list. Then my life would be totally complete.
