The rain forest has Sting. Now Siberia has Jack Dee. Someone had to draw the short straw. In this case it was the rain forest.
Meaning of the quote
The quote is making a joke about how the famous British singer Sting is associated with the rainforest, but now the less famous British comedian Jack Dee is associated with the cold and harsh region of Siberia. This means that the rainforest "drew the short straw" and got the less famous celebrity. The joke is suggesting that the rainforest is not as special or interesting as it used to be, since it now has a less famous person associated with it.
