Okay. I don’t want it. No. Give me the banana. Give it here. Give it here. Come on. Give me the banana. Give me the banana. This is This is called Doc. Doc, come here. It’s called Doc. Come on. Hey, doc. Just a minute here. Come on. Here’s your chair. Find the fruit where there’s sight.
And also sense of smell. That sudden chaos was merely a small teaser of the historic animal disasters on tonight’s show. I don’t think you do. But it What’s he doing? You didn’t tell me he could fly. I didn’t I didn’t know he could fly. Well, what the hell else don’t you know about him? If you don’t know you fly, you don’t know he could be poisonous, right? This is going to turn out to be the flying poisonous insect and has nothing to do with with being a Goliath beetle.
I do know about this one. The situation rapidly escalated when even the tiniest insects decided to change the script. They know you’re not scared. He doesn’t like you. Put the top back on. Put the lid on the cheetah. Put the lid on. Could Johnny Carson remain completely calm when facing razor sharp teeth on live television? Do they have any? As you’ll notice, outside a camouflage, both of these frogs have puffed up considerably with air. This makes them
look larger to an animal that might want to prey on them. Not quite as puffed up as he was. That’s one of your uh new suits, isn’t it? That was one of my uh Well, he missed the suit. It was just a little uh froggy dew on the whatever you call that. Terrifying encounters sometimes resulted in the most embarrassing and messy physical accidents.
It’s a heavy snake. What does it weigh about 50 60 lbs? She weighs about Yeah, she weighs Oh, if only in real life. What a fantasy. The line between a harmless joke and actual danger has never been this thin. It’s all yours, Johnny. Come on. Come on, Waldo. Put a wide rain on him because he sees that other I got him right.
I’m under control. I got him. Oh, no. Prepare to explore the wildest animal encounters that completely shocked America’s late night king. One when animals take over the night. Johnny Carson rode a giant water buffalo. These are some animals I’ve brought from the Los Angeles Zoo today.
Really? And uh they’ve got some real good ones over there. This see if I can get him to open his jaws a little bit here. Do that. Show you how you I lost a finger doing this once, but I think I can. There you go. Good heavens. Does he like that when you do that? You know, this is a very friendly crocodile.
I be funny if they stay that way the rest of his life. This incredibly dangerous mouth opening makes everyone in the studio feel extremely nervous. Smaller than it should be. This was a has a rather strange history. It was found in the sewer system, actually the sewer disposal plant here in Los Angeles.
Now, those stories have been going around for years. you know that people bought or were sent those little baby alligators usually from Florida and people then got tired of them and they flushed them down the toilet and there’s been these myths for years about in the sewers of New York or Los Angeles. An unbelievable discovery under the city sewers officially ends a very famous urban legend.
Just one way to hold this because this is a very friendly crocodile. Well, if it ever Let me show you. Just set him there and you can hold him right back at the neck is the best way cuz that way they can’t Yeah, you can see that. And you notice there a lot of strength in there, don’t they? Right.
And I’ll I’ll sort of hold on because if he if he flips If he flips, they use their tail. Why would he flip? Why would he flip? Well, if they squeezing the slippery neck of a wild reptile requires extreme focus and pure bravery. Can you turn that jaw sideways? Yeah, I’ve got him right. Real tight. You can turn the jaw sideways and show how wide the bill the the jaw of the alligator is. Right.
Like this. Broad. Very broad. And this one is very narrow. Dr. Beichum has offices in 27. Okay. By the way, there’s Testing the actual width of these prehistoric jaws brings absolute horror to the host. Goodness. That’s right. That’s right. Wait a minute. I think you’ll think he was trying to ah an unexpected and messy fluid accident on the desk turns into a giant wave of laughter.
Okay, Jim, we’re all set. What do we have now? Oh, that’s that’s not a chimpanzeee, is it? No, that’s a that’s that’s an orangutang. That’s an orangutang, right? And uh they’re reddish, are they? Oh, is that reddish? Yeah. Isn’t that funny? It’s the hair is they come from the tropical climates and the hair is obviously it deflects the rain and the weather and that sort of thing.
Wearing this funny green medical gown helps build trust with a very sensitive baby ape. Here we go. This is just like a candy. Uh just like a little piece of candy. Yeah. Uh-huh. There you go. These are these are an endangered species. They’re getting becoming very rare.
Very few of these in captivity or rather in the wild. There quite a few in captivity. But how old is the rangutang? Well, this is only 2 years old. She’s quite a baby. And they get very strong, don’t they? Very large. Extremely. Sweet chewing sounds from the cute little guest instantly steal the hearts of all viewers.
How well she can climb. Come on, Johnny. Okay, there you go. Go down here. All right, come up on Johnny. Hold down for it. Let her come up on you now. That’s right. Yeah. You and I could have some great times together, kid. This tight physical embrace makes our famous host look like an actual climbing tree.
I want to just take her out long enough so you can see her. She also Come on. Well, this is a snow leopard. That’s all right. This is also from the Hold that box, would you, Johnny? There you go. This is also from a Los Angeles Zoo. That is an absolutely Have you ever seen an animal that beautiful? That is a beautiful animal.
Is that something? And the feet. This is developed for breathtaking wild beauty from the high mountains finally gets displayed right on the host’s desk. I’ve never seen one before. And I want to just see if I can stretch her out a little bit because the the tail is so beautiful.
The adult has this very long doc. You want to Can I help you? Just look at these size of that tail. And in the adult stage is much much longer. And these a magnificent and thick tail serves as a perfect balancing tool on slippery mountain cliffs. It’s a snow leopard. I’ve never seen one in person. There you go. See, Johnny.
And they growl, don’t they? That’s right. Can I pet her? I think you can, but do it very She might try to bluff you, but just go right ahead. Don’t let it. There you go. It’s very good. Trembling hands gently pet the rare predator despite hearing some low and terrifying growls. It’s all yours, Johnny.
Come on. Come on. Waldo wide rain on him. He sees that other I got him. I’m under control. I got him. Oh no. Riding a giant water buffalo marks a completely chaotic ending to this legendary animal broadcast. Two, the giant fruit bat that escaped on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show. Once again, Jim Fowler brings some extraordinary animals, but this time everything is very different.
No, it isn’t. It’s not even related to kangaroos. It’s related more to squirrels. This is called the African spring hair. I’ve never seen one. It looks like something you would see on a what we would use on a Star Wars movie, right? Yeah. That’s strange. Yeah. The spring hair. These can suddenly jump about that high in the air.
So, watch out if he tries to do it. Now, is this is this is this a baby one? No. Well, this is pretty well full grown. Yeah. Great surprise quickly arises as this tiny creature eats food exactly like a human being. A spring. Pretty fascinating. If we can get him Oh, he’s eating his leash. That That’s nice. Smart spring here.
hand him that one because the way they eat is really fascinating. Let’s see if we can get him around here. There you are. And let’s see if he’ll just give him the whole thing and watch this. It’s really fascinating. You see the adapt like hands. Yeah, he uses his front feet like hands. Get a little closer there, Bobby.
Can’t That’s it. The hind feet. Now, isn’t that an incredible animal? These uh would anyone expect a ripe banana to attract this mysterious creature of the dark knight? This is found in India. Actually, let’s get a banana from there if you don’t mind. I think he’ll probably work on a banana. Uh just yeah peel it down a little bit.
There you go. Now see if you can give that to him good enough. Oh boy. Look at that boy. Oh you shouldn’t have done that. You should mean I shouldn’t have done that. Panic rises as our host must personally hold the terrifying foot of this wild animal. How do you how do you hold a bat? Well, that’s a good question.
Very carefully. Here you go. And you take I’ve got him by the one foot. Uhhuh. And you might just hold that foot right like that. I might do that. Yeah. That’s good. He won’t can’t get you through there, Johnny. But listen, these are the most strangest things. These are a a giant flying fruit bat from India.
And uh chaos officially erupts when this winged creature breaks free and launches a sudden attack. And also sends a smell. The tense atmosphere immediately cools down with the spectacular entrance of a marine giant. Well, here we are at the zoo.
The main thing about a big sea line like this, he weighs about 500 lb. You have to act in control. In other words, you give him a signal, make it positive. Right now, this is the first time I’ve actually seen this sea line. I’ve never done this before. Warm and gentle petting successfully erases the boundaries between human and wild animals.
Kina, Kina, get you can stand right up there if you don’t mind. Come here, Kina. Kina, up. Come on, Kina. Come on up. Come on. Come on, Kina. That’s right. Good boy. Now, come right up on there, Johnny. And you can pet him. Yeah. Go ahead. Just stroke him and say, “Nice boy.” There you go.
Now, do it like that. That’s right. Like this. That’s right. Now, come on. Lead him. Lead him down here. Lead him down. This incredibly cute eyeclosing performance will definitely melt your heart on live television. Now, what? I’ve never seen this Eli before. All right, close your eyes. Close your eyes. Close your eyes.
Look at that. Huh? Fantastic. Isn’t it? Very well done. Let’s have All right. Now, well, now look. I don’t know how to make him not do. Open your eyes. Okay. Open your eyes. Okay. Come on up. There you go. Now, let’s give him a few fish. All right. There you go. That a boy. Three. Straight right and grapes.
Johnny Carson’s most violent animal encounter. He likes your camera. That’s right in the camera. This is a celibese ape. And it’s ape. Few few animals in the world is actually worshiped. That’s all right. Come here. Come on, boy. That’s right. He’s worshiped as a an ancestor to human beings. Hey, give me that.
An innocent piece of fruit will soon trigger a highly memorable physical confrontation. Hey, you’re going to take it away from him. I’d like the banana. Just tell him you want the banana. I want the banana. Okay, I don’t want it. No, give me the banana. Give it here. Give it here. Come on.
Give me the banana. Give me the banana. This is This is called Doc. Doc, come here. It’s called Doc. Come on. Hey, just a minute. Come on. Here’s your chair. Such an unexpected punch leaves the legendary late night king completely speechless in his seat. HE PUNCHED ME RIGHT IN THE MOUTH.
He’s all right. He’s just playing. Playing, right? LET’S sit down over here. He’s monkey. Give me a straight right. Didn’t you hear the bell, Johnny? Bribing this aggressive boxing champion with sweet food seems like the only logical survival option. That’s right. You like grapes? He likes grapes.
Yeah, grapes. Doc, would you like some grapes? I think that’s what he thought. She took that banana away from mad feed grapes. You know IT’S wild animal language suddenly becomes the perfect way to establish a friendly late night connection. You talk to him by doing the UH I THINK we got something going here.
I think he really thinks on he knows I’m fond of him. Anyway, I think this legendary hit remains one of the most unpredictable and funniest moments in television history. Four. When a parrot actually sings better than Tony Bennett on national TV. Do you think parrots can only mimic? Watch what Poncho performs when meeting the late night king.
To disturb me because sometimes birds do get a little put off by applause or strange movements. I hear they never talk around you. Uh it has been a long dry spell with me. Birds come on and they’ve been coaxed and and threatened and they just literally do nothing. Poncho has a a good list of songs he does as you saw on the record there.
Bug the We will absolutely love hearing about this amazing singer’s extremely rich and unique background. What kind of bird is he? He’s a double yellowheaded Amazon parrot. Right. And how long have you had uh uh Poncho has been in the show at the Wild Animal Park for about 3 years. He’s about 12 years old now.
And he lived with some ladies who sang around the house and he learned from them. Can you say hi? Say hi. Hi. Good. Good. Okay. That’s wonderful. Can you say that a little softer? Ah, supporters get incredibly excited as the brilliant performer begins a highly impressive vocal warm-up. It goes like this.
What do you say when you see a bird fly over poncho? What do you say? [screaming] Can you try another warm-up for us? [screaming] And a high one. Oh boy. Now his last one is his favorite. Obviously, the studio audience deeply enjoys this beautiful and professional performance of the classic springtime song.
[screaming] Okay, now we’ll try to get springtime. Okay, here we go. Springtime. When it’s springtime. When it’s spring. [screaming] We deeply admire this exceptional bird for successfully breaking the long dry spell of animal guests. Five. The 60-lb pool monster. Johnny Carson’s terrifying Burmese python encounter.
Able to unhinge in such a way that they can take prey that is larger than the size of their mouth. They have over 100 recurved teeth. If they grab a hold of you and you go to pull your hand from their mouth because they’re recurved, they only set the teeth deeper. So, that’s nice to know. If it has you like this, you do not want to pull back because you will not get your your hand or your head or whatever.
Can you believe Joan Embbery brought a giant python on stage and almost terrified Johnny Carson? This snake that we’ll be showing you tonight is large enough. People haveake have been killed. Yes, it does. by their pets, no larger than this snake, which we’re showing you. And it was found in the San Fernando Valley in a backyard.
Somebody called the animal regulation department and said, “There is a huge snake in my swimming pool.” So, we will bring her out. This highly hilarious story about where they captured this giant monster will absolutely shock you with Los Angeles animal regulation. And and this is uh right. It’s a heavy snake.
What does it weigh? About 50 60 lbs. She weighs about Yeah, she weighs. Heavy weight from this legless giant beast quickly paralyzes the entire atmosphere of the studio. If only in real life. What a fantasy. You’re You’re at the You’re better off at that end. I think this tight body squeeze suddenly pushes the host’s actual fear to the absolute limit. Six.
When a carnivorous bullfrog met late night’s favorite host. I’ve never seen it. It’s not a bullfrog. It’s a horned frog. We had that. The largest frogs. You hear the noise that they make. Am I holding him right? Just trying to keep them comfortable. I must be actually these are these frogs are thought to be among the more aggressive of all the frogs in that they take prey almost as large as themselves.
This strange croaking sound immediately makes our late night host feel extremely uneasy. Well, you’re larger. Much larger. Well, my hand though isn’t any larger than that. Do they eat meat? Yes, they do. And at the zoo, we feed them mice. You feed the mice? Yes, we do. How can they eat a mouse? They’re not It’s It’s amazing.
We did bring a picture of it to show picture of the frog eating a mouse. I don’t know whether we carnivorous. And you notice that the coloration Great shock quickly arises when learning about the highly aggressive meat eatating habits of this green guest. See, I don’t even know why I’m looking there.
That doesn’t that doesn’t always mean that because that’s where you’d look for a human. You look for a frog, would you? Oh, not necessarily the same. Especially with these. How would how how would you know? Well, you look, they have a sexual organ. Yes, they do. Okay. They uh the female lays eggs, and frogs lay anywhere up to 30,000 eggs at a time.
This highly unusual anatomy question triggers an incredibly funny scientific explanation from the animal expert. Mature two frog. They go through a tap. If they did, we would be up to our frogs. Yes, most of them, the tadpoles, many of them are eaten by birds. Um, how do they protect themselves? Reptiles do, as you’ll notice, outside of camouflage.
Both of these frogs have puffed up considerably with air. This makes them look larger to an animal that might Watching the slimy creature slowly swell like a balloon brings absolute fascination to the studio. Want to prey on them? Not quite as puffed up as he was. That’s one of your uh new suits, isn’t it? That was one of my uh Well, he missed the suit.
It was just a little uh froggy dew on the whatever you call that. They So anyway, they puffed him. An unfortunate and wet accident instantly ruins a very expensive and elegant late night designer suit. Mucous membranes. If for instance an animal were to other words by shoving him up my nose I would probably well that’s not likely to happen.
I haven’t shoved a frog up my nose since I was maybe oh non six seven years old. Mother used to kick the hell out of me. She said get those frogs out of your nose. This chaotic frog encounter perfectly proves why hosting wild animal guests always remains an unpredictable adventure. Seven.
I didn’t know it could fly. Jim Fowler’s hilarious Goliath. Beetle blunder. Carson never reacted this violently toward humans. So watch what happens to this late night king. Wow. Is that a prop or is that real? Now that’s real. That’s one of the largest toy in the world. That’s a Goliath beetle. Listen. Uh let me Is that Isn’t that a windup? No. It’s very gentle. Very safe.
Put your arm out because it’ll show up well. No, I don’t I don’t I’m not trying to just force it on you because it it is really gentle and safe. A giant armored creature placed on the sleeve immediately causes immense fear for the host. But what I’m saying is that it’s I think you’ll realize when it’s there a little bit more about it in relation to your arm, the size.
This is called the Goliath beetle and it is one of the the Cincinnati Zoo has one of the few insect insect collections on display of any zoo in the world. And Ed Morusa has specialized in this. He’s the director there. But this is from Africa. Real terror quickly arrives when the nature expert warns about a hidden pinching trap.
The male is very aggressive during the mating season. He bulldozes that. I don’t see this hinge point right here. Put your Don’t don’t put your finger there because they’ll snap shut on your finger at that point. It’s quite a pinching animal. I see. Now, does that And they trap their prey in there or what? Or just No, that’s when they’re fighting.
when they’re fighting the if one gets up here on his back another male he’ll picking up the massive insect requires extreme bravery from the nervous late night host how do I how do I pick him up eats bananas huh they like that for Do I pick him right here? Yeah, just pick him up there and put him right back cuz all you have to do he can’t get back there.
In fact, he doesn’t have any mandible for eating. Oh, that’s Wait a minute. Take take the stick. Every planned script immediately collapses when the prehistoric creature suddenly decides to take flight. I don’t think you do. But this What’s he doing? You didn’t tell me he could fly. I didn’t I didn’t know he could fly.
Well, what the hell else don’t you know about him? If you don’t know you fly, you don’t know he could be poisonous, right? This is going to turn out to be the flying poisonous insect and has nothing to do with it. Late night confidence faces another tough test with the arrival of a rare threehorned lizard doing when he opens his mouth there.
Let’s see if we have He’s coming back down the stick. Jim. Jim, he’s coming down the stick. Reach the other end of the stick. Reach uh reach the other end of the stick. Now you see how he threatens. You have a closeup on this because this is pretty rare. Independent eyeballs moving in completely different directions easily amaze everyone watching the live broadcast.
And uh this is the one the eyeballs go in different directions. Exactly. Did you notice each eye? Yeah. Now this eye on the right which you cannot see is looking at back here. Yeah. What the other eye is doing I have to slide. Well anyway the famous Karen black chameleon.
Oh, I was just being silly. I don’t mean that. See if you’ll see if you’ll take that. This chaotic broadcast perfectly shows why the late night program remains so incredibly popular. Eight. From affectionate camel kisses to angry cheetah growls. Johnny Carson’s ultimate roller coaster. She’s just learning how to work on a halter.
She says, “Oh, I see. See, she’s just learning to walk.” There you go. On a halter. Now, are these doing pretty good? Do do they ride these or domesticate them at all or are they pretty much they have never been trained uh by anyone? In fact, I don’t know that they’re they’ve been halted broken anywhere.
Why do they call a Peralis horse? This tiny creature still stubbornly retains the untamed traits of a wild animal. Come on, boy. One more. She’s cute. Good. She’ll take at least another year before she’s grown year and a half. All right. You have to retrain this one, don’t you? Well, it takes a little bit of training to get her to walk out here because she’s more like a wild animal than a domestic horse.
She’s doing pretty well. Notice they their main stand straight up and they don’t have a forlock like a horse. Okay. What’s your name? The tense atmosphere quickly dissolves with the arrival of an incredibly funny face. What is it? It’s a baby guano. A baby guano? The hell is a guanakaco? You ever heard of a guanato? Oh, come on.
That face looks like one of the rich puppets. You know that face? They’re a member of the Cameloid family. This sweet friendliness easily wins over the heart of our famous late night host. I’ll pockets. You want some of this? That’s good. Seems all right to me.
The real challenge begins when the dangerous predators officially make their appearance. Okay, I didn’t do anything. This one, you’ll notice already the different personalities. See how one is quieted down and the other one’s more aggressive. They they do have Can you speak to them some way? Like, okay, they’re speaking to you right now.
Just relax. They they purr. Relax. They say if you look an animal right in the face and talk to them, then they know you’re not scared. Just one direct look is enough to trigger a highly aggressive and terrifying reaction. He doesn’t like you. Put the top back on. Put the lid on the cheetah.
Put the lid on. Damn lucky he’s in there. I’d tear him apart. Hilarious, sarcastic jokes always serve as the best way to hide actual fear. Notice how I cowed him right off. That’ll teach you. Well, we we brought them back because they are going back. Well, don’t bring them back again cuz they’re going to get bigger than this, aren’t they? Right. They’ll be back.
They’ll eat my face next time. They’re going back to our research program. I remember when you were just this little. The final danger of tonight’s show comes from an incredibly tiny creature. Obviously, they I mean, they wouldn’t bite you, would they? They are supposedly not too terribly harmless.
I mean, harmful, but they will, if they get in your bloodstream, make you sick. Well, I’m not going to let them in there. [snorts] The the poison on on your hands can be washed. Kiss you. And you’re a dead prince. Well, this one, but the poison was off his body. It’s not in his mouth. No, it’s secreted.
It’s uh under the Nine. Cute Koala Cooper melts Johnny Carson’s heart on national TV. Finally, let’s wrap up this video with a unique performance by an incredibly adorable guest tonight. Finally, you’ve all seen this animal probably on commercials for Quantis Airline more than any other thing. Right. Right. And that is a koala bear.
Right. They are koalas and they’re called bears, but actually they’re not a true bear. whether a marsupial or a pouchbearing mammal. Right. Isn’t that one of the most interesting faces you’ve ever seen in your life? This expressionless face surprisingly served as the original inspiration for the world’s most famous stuffed toy.
How much do they Well, in the 1920s, they were uh killed and hunted almost to the point of extinction for the fur. For their fur and in an attempt to protect the animal. That’s the closest thing to a teddy bear, isn’t it? The teddy bear was really derived from the koala, right? From they they have a very, you know, bear-like uh quality.
They just look like they’re so peaceful. And watching this sleepy animal climb a tree feels exactly like watching a slow motion nature documentary. Set them in the tree there. I think it’ be kind of fun for people to watch him. Maybe if we set him down low, he will actually climb up into it. Oh, they His name is Kubore and he’s about 18 months old, right? So, he’s just reaching his full maturity and they weigh up to about 25 lb.
He’s in no hurry at all, is he? He knows everything is just like slow motion. An amazing survival journey begins with a tiny newborn that is actually smaller than a walnut. And when they’re babies, they they’ll ride on the back of the female. So when she crawls around, they’re sitting right here on her back.
How big is the pouch? I mean, the pouch would hold about something the size of a baseball. It’s about this large. And of course, now many people think they both have pouches, only the females. And when they’re born, they’re about they’re smaller than the size of a walnut, only about a/4 of an inch.
And they crawl from the birth canal to the pouch. And then they’re in the pouch for six months before they come out. From flying giant beetles to punching monkeys and terrifying pythons, Johnny Carson’s wild animal encounters truly prove why The Tonight Show was legendary.
