discovery in the Valley of the Kings or climbing Mount Everest—and
represents the highest-quality in filmmaking," said Jane Root, the

"Everything on our air is authentic and Josh fulfills that promise. He is
the real deal and his passions in the environment, indigenous cultures and
sustainable living will help further the mission of the network. We look

that Discovery Communications has to offer to its loyal consumers around the
globe."
