Did a Discovery Channel executive really tell Les Stroud no one would ever watch people survive on TV? The Survivorman joins Kari and Tory to set the record straight — and reveal what he did 15 minutes after that rejection. Plus, Les drops the unfiltered truth about Bear Grylls, why authenticity cost him a lucrative deal, and what happens when a network asks you to fake the whole thing.
