MrBeast is becoming a shark.
The YouTuber, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, is joining the cast of ABC‘s reality program Shark Tank, where he will be a guest shark for season 18, which will debut in the fall.
Donaldson will be a shark alongside Beast Industries CEO Jeffrey Housenbold, and joins a starry group of guest sharks for the new season. Other guest sharks will include actress and writer Mindy Kaling, former NFL star J.J. Watt, Diary of a CEO podcast host Steven Bartlett, and Sara and Erin Foster, the co-founders of Favorite Daughter and the inspiration for the series Nobody Wants This.
The guest sharks will join the roster of permanent sharks on the program, which include Barbara Corcoran; Lori Greiner; Robert Herjavec; Daymond John; Daniel Lubetzky; Kevin O’Leary; Kendra Scott; and Rashaun Williams.
Shark Tank has become one of the most enduring reality shows on broadcast TV, and by far the most successful business program. The show sees entrepreneurs and investors pitch the sharks on investing in their product or business, often sparking real deals, like the Ring camera, which ultimately sold to Amazon for $1 billion.
