Filmmaker Prepares to Be “Eaten Alive” on Discovery Channel Special

The planned special has brought in a lot of attention for Discovery and a lot of hits and articles for Google News.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — You would think that having a blindfolded Nik Wallenda walk on a tightrope would be enough to feed the Internet’s appetite.

Yet, the Discovery Channel’s latest must watch program “Eaten Alive” shows otherwise.

According to Discovery’s website, “Eaten Alive” will include wildlife filmmaker Paul Rosolie donning a protective suit which will allow him to swallowed up alive by an anaconda.

Yes, he’s choosing to get eaten by a giant snake.

While some on the Internet have balked at the stunt wondering how it could ever be real, Discovery’s website has the show scheduled for December 7th.

Unlike other big events on Discovery, “Eaten Alive” was taped rather than live. This, plus the fact that Rosolie is tweeting proves that he got out alive.

“If u know me – I would never hurt a living thing,” Rosolie tweeted. “But you’ll have to watch #EatenAlive to find out how it goes down!”
