Shaquille O'Neal to host 'Shark Week' special titled 'ShaqAttack'

Shaquille O'Neal getting his own "Shark Week" special is definitely something we can get onboard with. 

The Los Angeles Lakers legend will be hosting his own "Shark Week" special titled "ShaqAttack," which is set to air on Aug. 10 at 9 p.m. ET. 

O'Neal is teaming up with YouTube stars Dude Perfect and former NASA engineer Mark Rober to test hunting techniques of various sharks to determine which has the best predatory attack, according to Discovery Channel.

The Hall of Famer first appeared on "Shark Week" in 2018 when he went into shark-infested waters in a custom-built cage. The cage proved to be faulty, though, as a shark got inside for the first time in the 30-year history of the show. 

Other celebrities to be included in the 2020 August special include Adam Devine, Mike Tyson, Will Smith and Snoop Dogg.
