Eugene Levyis on the ride of a lifetime in an exclusive clip from new showThe Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy.
“These guys can reach 30 miles an hour,” Levy says in a voiceover. “How do you say ‘slow down’ in dog?”
As the dogs continued to spring across the snowy landscape, Levy exclaims, “So far, so good. Got a little respect from the dogs.”
In the end, Levy admitted the experience was “fantastic,” adding, “I felt like Ben-Hur up there.”
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Levy revealed that he was never a fan of the outdoors, but wanted to push his boundaries.
“I don’t have a great sense of adventure, so it’s not the most comfortable thing. If I know where I’m going, it’s great. If I don’t really know where I’m going, I get a little frazzled,” he said.
However, the series helped him push himself out of his comfort zone, he said, and explore places and participate in activities he never would have done before.
“I still don’t think I’m an adventurous person, but I’m doing the best I can,” Levy said. “I think this show is good for me, because I’m growing in certain areas.”
One of the highlights of filming the show for Levy, however, was when his family was able to tag along. His daughter,Sarah Levy, joined him in the Maldives, while his wife,Deborah Divine, joined both him and Sarah in Venice, Italy.
“Sarah came with me to the Maldives. So when you’re working, that’s a wonderful thing,” he told PEOPLE. “I’d look over and see her lying in a hammock reading a book. And it’s always nice, kind of warms the heart.”
