>>2513690>Well it's the only time he's been caught. So we can only take him at his word.lol dude he almost pulled his show from ever being filmed over it and he cited it as one of the big reasons he never sold the network his show.
that's also why discovery channel hired bear grylls. they couldn't get survivorman to fake stuff or overly-dramatize his show to the level they wanted (he does concede to the network and do it a bit in the first season, the editing style fades away from the show after)
>>2508484lolno learn a little history of the show before assuming.
first of all, there was no such thing as a bigfoot tv show and no profit in claiming to believe in bigfoot when he very reluctantly admitted his belief on opie&anthony. if anything it was career ending back then. you know how its socially acceptable and kind of a meme to believe in bigfoot now? that social phenomena hadn't happened yet. if he was just doing it for the profit. he turned down a ton of network deals to do bigfoot shows. you know virtually every bigfoot show on discovery channel? they approached and got rejected by les before hiring the hosts of all those shows. when he did finally make his bigfoot show years later, largely as a response to how much he disliked the network's shows, he didn't sensationalize it nearly to the level other shows do and didn't care about the ratings.
comes off as genuine to me. admitted to it when there was no social advantage to and it could have ended his career. turned down offers to host fake ass bigfoot shows for years and told the networks to kick rocks. what more can a nigga do for your approval?
