Maher’s professional statement is interspersed with footage of outtakes where she displays the goofy humor that’s made her a social media star.
“Are there actually bears here? Because I don’t know what to … are grizzly bears the nice ones? Black bears are the mean ones right?” Maher asked the silent crew filming her.
She next wanted to know, “Is it gonna be this cold the whole time? It’s a little, little chilly.”
Maher also jokingly inquired about whether she’d receive a “roast” after signing with the team.
