[Summary] How Bear Grylls got Obama to eat half-chewed salmon from a bear on tonight's 'Running Wild'

Bear Grylls, the host of Grylls' show "Running Wild" on NBC, had his adventure in Alaska with US President Barack Obama. As a fan of the show, Obama approached the show and had tried many different things, including devouring salmon that was half-eaten by a bear, drinking tea made from berries found earlier in the adventure, even drinking his own urine for hydration. After drinking his own urine in drawing the line, Obama said that he supposed that he won't do it again if the alternative was death. he said, it’s not something he’d make a habit of, and he probably wouldn’t do it just for a TV show. The purpose that Obama joined the British adventurer is to take a close look at climate change in Alaska. And he's also the first politician to join NBC series. See the selfie Obama and Grylls took during their Alaska adventure below:
