We all owe you such a debt, Don. All those years of devotion to Dave have brought so much entertainment for us. Thanks!

[@btstakescareofmewhenimsick4892]

Somebody help! I cant stop watching these videos 😂

[@sweetlittleroselle972]

I needed these laughs desperately today...thank you so much!! There are times when these 2 make me laugh so hard I can't breath. They're magic together!

[@BenevolentInstigator]

Don, thank you for collecting and editing all my favourites, the Jack Hanna episodes!

[@chuckfortier4866]

Same from me, but I am having a hard time figure out wich one is the crayziest...

[@katiezee2]

Love it that every time he's on it results in various wild animals, reptiles and birds running amok in the studio

[@debschaefer7820]

I know, when Jack is done talking about the animal he just sets it loose. And Dave is always saying one at a time.😂😂😂

[@stornkolson]

He's probably my favorite animal dude. Coyote made Conan and Colbert cringe super bad

[@mariedewitt5033]

Dave is a nasty piece of work.

[@claudecat]

Jack Hanna was unique. I mean, there had been animal "experts" appearing on talk shows before him, but what Jack brought was his utterly sincere, occasionally grumpy, mostly confused personality. Nobody else has ever possessed this blend of "skills". Perfect foil for Dave, as he's both hilarious and clueless, so anything goes... Oh, and the animals are cool too. And Jack's occasional attempts at practical jokes.

[@marymarshall7428]

He is such a loving and caring person 💗 His wife Suzi and his family must truly enjoy all he does. Bless you, Jack, from all of us and every animal you've ever cared for, You are truly an inspiration to all. Bless you 🙏

[@debib4596]

Just found these videos and they are wonderful!! Dave is a very good sport, Jack is so sincere. They're both hilarious. Love the critters great and small!

[@andrea4246]

Can't stop watching these. Totally hilarious and such a good change of viewing. 100% better than up to date nonsense and reality crap.

[@kennagel8088]

Good lord this is why KZbin was invented.

[@sheilaringer5588]

I love watching these 2 together,these shows are the best

[@realkangaroocafevietnam]

You really are a champion Don. Thanks so much for these sensational posts.

[@janetdobie9722]

Thanx so much for putting these wonderful old shows up...❤

[@dongiller]

Thanks, Janet.

[@ArnavPati]

Thank you so much for uploading these

[@theone8534]

Thank you thank you thank you!!! Better than any movie. God bless you Jack!!!🤣

[@ChadRiden]

the Eagle flying around the Ed Sullivan Theater was fantastic

[@joanettemurch9040]

I am so sorry to see that Jack Hannah was so very ill and then deceased….he was a joy and I appreciated him

[@dongiller]

Jack is still among the living.

[@russell2952]

They moved him to a new hospital where his condition was upgraded to alive

[@kathycusimano7020]

Your Dave vids are the best. Thank you!

[@sealteamryx6758]

Was watching Norm tribute videos and for some reasons this popped up in the mix? Haha okay then 🤷

[@astilealavatica1404]

Jack Hanna is hilarious

[@marlenemeyer2335]

Real entertainment! I especially appreciate these videos during the writers' strike!

[@jeanagee7579]

Bahaha! Had to laugh! I needed it! I love to go back to the oldies!

[@mainmaam]

You just made my day!

[@suzannemowat6167]

What chaos…..fun to watch

[@contactgala]

This is TV gold

[@debschaefer7820]

For the life of me, I can't figure out why they insist on playing music at the beginning and ending of the segment. It's obviously frightens a lot of the animals. I know that's how the show runs, is to play the music in and out from commercial, but you think they could make an exception for the animals.

[@dongiller]

They do.

[@debschaefer7820]

@@dongiller they do what? Not play music? Every video I watch so far has music playing when they go to and from commercial I just saw two cats who are frightened of the music, which prompted me to write my comment.

[@dongiller]

@@debschaefer7820 Wait for it. There are seven more parts.

[@stornkolson]

Yeah, but then again they're being raised by Jack Hannah. IDK if you've been around rescue type ppl, they all do questionable things, but they keep species going.

[@jenhuffine7030]

Jack Hanna seems annoyed and lightly confused in every appearance

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Yeah, and I was wondering if that presaged his later dementia.

[@annalee117]

Love Dave and Jack

[@ziparis]

The greater the chaos, the better the ratings!

[@slide_drexler]

Love that Paul Schaeffer and The CBS Orchestra plays house of the rising sun by The Animals as Jack's entrance theme.

[@dongiller]

Shaffer; Paul Shaffer.

[@slide_drexler]

@@dongiller my bad

[@winonafrog]

13:50 would have been a memorable historical event if those three slipped loose in the studio 😅

[@josephpetrella2955]

Now are they marsupials?

[@whodatking26]

Dave's number 1 question. You can bring out an ant farm and he'll ask if they are marsupials 😂

[@watutman]

Sometimes it's not lupus.

[@russell2952]

The most chaotic guest

[@judithgillette144]

2 toed sloth goes 4 feet an hour, if they're in a hurry. Oh, I have some Interns like that. :O :P Classic!!! I feel this today!!!

[@aliceschmid9697]

Jack Hanna was a total hottie!!!!

[@pibly7784]

LOL. Why the @$#& does Jack bring ALL the animals out at the same time? LOL.

[@windwhipped5]

The handler has no idea what jack is doing with the melons. I dont think it was part of the script..

Great tune, you gotta look for it

[@mihamikola7588]

Love Jack Hanna! Back in the begginings he had like 5 minute spot on, and had to show like 6,7 animals at the time hahaha, great TV :D In latter years they gave him much more time, so early years ware chaos :D
