On Thursday, the actor and comedian tests the limits of his position when he hosts Shark City premiering tonight at 9 p.m.

The special takes an up close look at the sharks of the Bahamas through their days and nights to find out how they size each other up, what they like to eat and what it is that they're afraid of. All the while, Samberg lends his unique and hilarious perspective on the findings.

Watch THR’s exclusive sneak peeks above and below of Samberg as he introduces the special and then gets a little too close to the subjects – or does he?
