‘Running Wild With Bear Grylls’ Sneak Peek: Courteney Cox Makes Fire With Beauty Products

Who knew lip balm had so many uses? Running Wild With Bear Grylls host Bear Grylls has a special mission for guest star Courteney Cox. But don’t worry, he doesn’t throw the Cougar Town alum to the wolves. In this first look clip from the upcoming episode of the NBC reality show, Grylls tells his famous Friend he has a sure-fire way to get things started when he asks her to make fire.

“What I’ve learned is the best thing for starting fire if you haven’t got matches or a lighter is to get deep inside a girl’s vanity case,” Grylls says.

Luckily, Cox’s travel bag contains the perfect storm of ingredients: lip balm, hairspray, and Q-tips (Bear calls them ear buds). Put them all together and poof! Monica would be proud!

Take a look at the clip as Cox joins the survival reality host in Ireland for a mission that’s a piece of cake — at least compared to the maggots she’ll eat in the same episode.

Running Wild With Bear Grylls airs Monday, Aug. 22 at 10 p.m. on NBC.
