Narrator: SEVEN -- SEVEN DAYS TILL SHARK WEEK.
I CALL DIBS ON THE COUCH.
YOU DID NOT CALL IT FIRST.
WELL, YOU'RE A TERRIBLE ROOMMATE.
TODAY ON "THE DAILY BITE," WE REMEMBER SEALS THAT DIED,
SEE HOW 30 YEARS OF SHARK WEEK HAVE CHANGED THE WORLD,
AND -- WAIT FOR IT -- PUPPIES.
PUPPIES ON "THE DAILY BITE."
HIT IT, JORDAN.
NO, THIS ISN'T AN ILLUSION. NO, THIS ISN'T AN ILLUSION.
IT'S ACTUALLY ME, COMEDIAN/SHARK SAVANT JORDAN CARLOS,
AND IT'S ACTUALLY "THE DAILY BITE,"
A MONTH-LONG CELEBRATION OF ALL THINGS SHARK WEEK.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A GREAT TIME,
AND I CAN SAY THAT TRUTHFULLY BECAUSE I READ TODAY'S SCRIPT.
SO, LET'S SWIM ON, LITTLE FISHIES. SWIM ON.

Woman: SHARK WEEK BECAME A CULTURAL PHENOMENON
WORKING TO CHANGE THE NEGATIVE PERCEPTION
PEOPLE HAD OF SHARKS AND SPARK CURIOSITY
ABOUT SHARKS AROUND THE WORLD.

IN 1988, AT THAT TIME,
PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY GOOD SHARK WAS A DEAD SHARK.
NOW IT'S GETTING BETTER AND BETTER BECAUSE I GET TO SEE
A LOT OF EPISODES THAT ARE JUST FOCUSED ON SCIENCE,
AND IT IS REAL SCIENCE.
Woman: BY PROVIDING A REAL, NUANCED PICTURE OF THE ECOSYSTEM
THAT SHARKS BELONG TO, SHARK WEEK HELPED SHED THE IMAGE
OF THE EVIL, AGGRESSIVE MONSTER AND HELPED REPLACE IT
WITH AN ACCURATE DEPICTION OF A CREATURE IN PERIL.
ARE GREAT WHITE SHARKS REALLY MINDLESS KILLING MACHINES?
WELL, WE FOUND OUT THAT, NO, THEY'RE NOT.
THEY'RE SELECTIVE, CURIOUS, AND INTELLIGENT ANIMALS.

AS SHE CRUISED UNDERNEATH.
IT'S INCREDIBLE TO BE SHARING A MOMENT
WITH SUCH A SPECIAL ANIMAL LIKE THIS.

UNBELIEVABLE.
Woman: IT'S BECAUSE OF THE PUBLIC'S NEWFOUND OBSESSION
OF THESE BEAUTIFUL CREATURES
THAT SHARK WEEK BECAME A TESTAMENT TO WHAT'S POSSIBLE.
WE HAVE LOST A LOT OF GREAT SEALS OVER THE YEARS...
MOSTLY DUE TO IMPROPER TRACKING TECHNIQUES,
ILLEGAL FISHING PRACTICES, AND -- JUST A RUMOR --
SOMETHING INVOLVING THE DAVE MATTHEWS BAND.
BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHARKS EAT THOSE LITTLE SUCKERS FOR LUNCH!
LET'S TAKE A LOOK NOW
AT SOME OF THE GREAT SEALS WE'VE LOST THIS YEAR.

THAT BRINGS US TO MY LEAST FAVORITE PART
OF "THE DAILY BITE," THE END.
TO MAKE MYSELF FEEL BETTER,
I'M GONNA GO FOR A SWIM IN MY NEIGHBOR OMARI'S POOL.
I'LL JUST KNOCK, WALK IN, DIVE IN,
AND PRETEND I'M A BIG, OL' SHARK IN THE WATER
JUST SHARKING IT UP.
NOW, WHAT IF HE DOESN'T HAVE A POOL? NOT A PROBLEM.
JOIN US TOMORROW FOR ANOTHER EPISODE OF "THE DAILY BITE."
