NEW YORK (AP) — Discovery Channel has landed the perfect host this year for “Shark Week,” none other than Aquaman. Actor Jason Momoa, who in real life dreamed of a life as a marine biologist before Hollywood anointed him a superhero ocean god, is going back to his roots to celebrate all things shark. Momoa will be the week’s recurring master of ceremonies, dipping in and out of the channel’s some 20 new hours of programs that start Sunday. Viewers will get to see rare sharks off the coast of South Africa and investigate whether sharks in Florida waters are getting high on cocaine.
