Shark Week 2022 live – Jackass star fights back tears as he reflects on gruesome attack – how to watch Discovery special

JACKASS star Sean McInerney, also known as Poopies, became emotional as he returned to the water one year after he was attacked by a shark.

McInerney starred in the premiere of this year’s Shark Week, where he went diving with sharks to face his fears.

During the special, the stuntman opened up about his traumatic experience during last year’s Shark Week event: “I thought I was gonna die in front of my friends,” he tearfully said.

McInerney suffered bite wounds to his hand and wrist, and is still recovering from his injuries.

The 34th season will last from July 24 to July 31, and the show airs every day this week from 8pm EST/5pm PST to 11pm EST/8pm PST.
