   Morgan Freeman knows how to get you interested in Science Channel’s Through the Wormhole

Morgan Freeman is beyond awesome, just ask his millions of fans. Not only is he one of the most talented and in-demand actors of our time, but he’s also down to earth, frank, and very funny. That last part is confirmed once more in the video below.

Today’s suggestion for Viral of the Day is actually a proper trailer for the fifth season of Through the Wormhole from Science Channel, which “explores the deepest mysteries of existence,” but all you’ll probably remember from it is the fact that Freeman sucks helium from a balloon and that it’s the most amazing thing ever.

This might even top the “falling asleep during live shows” bit he was doing last year, when he was promoting the heist action flick “Now You See Me,” which he started after he actually dozed off during a live interview because it took place very early in the morning and he was, as per his own admission, “exhausted.”

In the skit he used later for other appearances, including a hilarious cameo on Jimmy Fallon, Freeman claimed he was never really asleep: he was a beta tester for a new technology called “Google Eyelids” and the reason he had his eyes closed was because he was “updating [his] Facebook page.”

I’ll let you be the judge if this balloon trick is funnier. Enjoy!
