'Shark Tank' Sneak Peek: Ashton Kutcher Plays Hardball for a Hardboard

Victoria Leigh Miller

Ashton Kutcher is swimming with the sharks. The Ranch star returns as a guest shark on the new episode of ABC’s Shark Tank, and he’s sliding in to make an offer for a deal on new bodysurfing product, Slyde. Sure, this hardboard used for wave riding is uncharted waters for this self-described Iowa farm kid, but with a well-connected partner like Mark Cuban — and a 25 percent cut — it could be a sweet deal.

We’ve got an exclusive peek at Kutcher as he tries to cut a deal with Slyde inventors before Robert Herjavec does, and it looks like the actor-turned-entrepreneur really wants to ride this one to the finish because he barely lets Herjavec get a word in edgewise.

Take a look at the clip to see Ashton in action, and watch how he snaps back at Shark Tank bigwig Kevin O’Leary.

Shark Tank airs Fridays at 9 p.m. on ABC.
