Aquaman’s Aquatic Dates: Jason Momoa Woos Sharks before Shark Week 2023

Before he dives into hosting duties for Shark Week 2023 on July 23rd, Jason Momoa is going to fin-tastic lengths to break the ice—or should we say, break the waves? The ‘Aquaman’ star has decided to take each shark species out on a series of underwater dates to better understand their personalities and quirks. Talk about an immersive hosting experience!

Jokes from the Deep: Jason Momoa Takes the Shark Week Plunge

1. “So, you heard about Jason Momoa hosting Shark Week 2023, right? I mean, Aquaman hosting Shark Week? That’s like asking the Cookie Monster to host the Great British Bake Off. ‘That’s some good batter, but it’d be better in my stomach…'”
2. “Momoa hosting Shark Week is like asking a fish if it enjoys swimming. ‘Hey fish, you like the water?’ ‘Nah, mate. I’m just here because the airfare was too expensive.'”
3. “When Jason Momoa got the offer to host Shark Week, I bet his agent was like, ‘Hey Jason, how do you feel about sharks?’ And Momoa was like, ‘Are they CGI or real? Because I’ve wrestled with a Kraken before, but it was on a green screen.'”
4. “Shark Week’s producers are like, ‘Jason, can you swim?’ And he’s like, ‘Can I swim? I was literally born in the ocean. I’m 70% sea water and 30% muscles.’ “
5. “Aquaman on Shark Week, I tell you, it’s going to be a splash. In fact, it’s probably the only time we’ll see Jason Momoa in water without any dramatic background music playing.”
6. “You know, I always thought Shark Week was intense, but with Jason Momoa, it’s gonna be ‘Ocean’s Deep.’ We’re not just diving into the shallow end, folks, we’re headed straight to the Mariana Trench.”
7. “It’s a perfect match, really. Sharks, Jason Momoa, water. It’s like asking Thor to host ‘Hammer Time’. ‘Can I bring my own hammer?’ ‘No, Thor, it’s a metaphor.’ ‘Oh, so… I can bring my hammer?'”
8. “After Shark Week, I’m waiting for Jason to host ‘Bear Week.’ And why stop there? ‘Penguin Week,’ ‘Lion Week,’ ‘Koala Week.’ Let’s see if Aquaman can communicate with all the animals!”

Shark Week is right around the corner, and we love it almost as much as We Love Sharks!
