They're the definitive Discovery Channel hosts right now and are probably on retainer or contractually obligated for things like this.
Plus, their show is currently airing a new season and they're wildly popular. This just screams to me that it's about advertising to as many eyeballs as possible while it's a hot topic (otherwise, why so quick? the man was literally just buried).
- dailyrorschach 15y agoDefinitely a revenue generating opportunity. However, there is just also a great deal of interest, and as long as they have quality content I'm excited to see it. And yes, I imagine they are contractually obligated, like Mike Rowe, who they've over used so much - plus they probably wanted someone more geek for the special.
- evan_ 15y agoIt sounds to me like they moved the airing up as a result of recent events, not that they just threw it together in the last week.
