This compilation of Jack and Dave helped cure my depression

[@slm3913]

Thank you for sharing these. Jack Hanna is the best. He always informed us about the endangerment. Several are on the extinction list today. By the time our grand children are adults these will be gone. Thank you Jack Hanna for teaching us.

[@mikes3827]

Jack is the best, I agree. Unfortunately, your prediction about Jack and others being gone before the grand kids are grown is likely to happen sooner vs. later in Jack's case, as he is said to be suffering from Alzheimer's. And as my mom is in late-stage Alzheimer's, I only hope he is at least comfortable as my mom (mostly) is, as this horrible disease takes its toll on Jack. But when Jack was scheduled to be on Dave's show, it was almost "must-see TV" because of their great chemistry and funny moments. Love Jack, and I miss Dave on his show.

48:15 First time a Pallas Cat (Manual) was ever on TV. This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen on Letterman. Jack Hanna is such a cool dude! Thanks for all the years of kick ass animals!!!

[@user-bn7bk5mw4s]

I had almost forgotten Jack and how funny his segments with Dave were. I love animals also. God bless him after all these years and may he and his family find peace. Prayers and love..Claire

[@wandalee5010]

Jack is hilarious! All my best to him and his family! 😊🥰

[@93Jubilee]

Jack is great, deceased now, such a great loss. But I always felt there was such a nervous tension between Letterman and Jack that it could transfer to the animals.

[@mehnick]

@@93Jubilee He's not deceased as of today October the 16th, 2023

[@user-bn7bk5mw4s]

Is he passed or no

[@jayonnaj18]

LOL, I always thought David Letterman was just teasing Jack Hanna when David would say, "Jack, are you sure you know what you're doing?! just to get a laugh from the audience! Both guys were hilarious, though, and the shows were extremely informative and fun!!! The animals owned those segments of the program though, LOL!

[@queenpeachykeend.1568]

These are my favorite the nights Jack Hanna was on!!!!

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Jack + Dave = A (surefire!) Comedy Duo! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Damn, they are funny!

[@d-nihilus4422]

19:15 Jack says that there are about 4,000 tigers in the wild in India and that by 2015 they think they'll all be gone. It's 2023 and happy to say there are an estimated 3,000 tigers in the wild in India, up from the low of 1,400 in 2006.

[@davewestner]

appreciate this bit of info. Was wondering about that. Glad to hear it

[@fatmanstupid]

Hey @7:43 that's Jarod Miller from Conan!

[@nara0o]

i’m laughing so hard at dave’s smart ass remarks and when he bickers with jack LOL like he knows better

[@jedfra9172]

He often does!

[@dianewinters8628]

I'm enjoying these so much. Thank you.

[@marlenemeyer2335]

I love watching these videos! They're so interesting and enjoyable!

[@marlenemeyer2335]

Jack is so careful and gentle with each and every animal. 💕 And they trust him.

[@oldbrokensqueezebox]

"Am I doing something wrong with the bottle?" "No we just cant see the tiger" 😂

[@user-nn7us2jp3p]

I really enjoy jack hanna describing these fascinating animals, most of which I have never seen before.

[@eastoncolten6666]

Dont know if you guys cares but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother during the lockdown =)

[@luisaroman7108]

Lovely experience. Beautiful animals ❤

[@marthalisk303]

This one is a real jewel to watch!

[@anniemac4637]

Enjoyed watching these clips..I'm in bed with covid so this is really entertaining..😊

[@dongiller]

Recover quickly!

[@mikes3827]

Hope you recovered from COVID w/o any lingering effects, Annie. Watching Jack and Dave was great fun, and their chemistry was as quirky as it was hilarious. Unfortunately, Jack's health is in serious decline, as he's suffering from advanced Alzheimer's (I know, as my mom is herself in the late stages of that horrible disease). A simple and principled man is what I'll remember most in Jack Hanna.

[@TheCandiceWang]

@@mikes3827 🙏🕊️ I get it, I do.

I LOVE THESE THANKS DAVE THANKS JACK

51:40 An hour and fifty four minutes of zingers like this.

Count how many times Jack says "DAVE!"

When I die, I wanna be in at a bar in heaven drinking with Jack Hannah, Steve Irwin and Huell Howser.

Check out Matt Wright, Crocodile Hunter.

They are hilarious together

He was our own at Knoxville TN Zoo , it has grew to a beautiful zoo because of h. I remember him with those big big 🐢

[@cindydarkheart225]

I love these. I just hate the occasions when Jack yelled at his staff.

[@rummyrehal1063]

He loves asking if they are marsupial lol

[@SandraNelson063]

Everyone teases Jack all the time. He isn't a quick thinker, he's just totally into animals.

[@GC-ps9mn]

I'm not though the whole video yet but that Jarod Miller appearance was cool. I wonder if David Letterman was referring to Jarod's appearances on Conan's show when he said to Jarod "keep up the great work, I've heard nothing but great things".

[@TheCandiceWang]

1:03:44 I saw Jarod! He probably did refer to conan :) love and miss Jarod on conans old show. Do you ever see Jarod still appear on talk shows?

[@jenniferlee5871]

Dave is super spontaneously funny but so is the animal trainer in his own way The Animals are exquisite- glad time is given to the exotic natural wildlife and not just celebrities etc

[@aminakamran6969]

The Pallas cat (Manul) are the best small cats.

[@kitcobain444]

Absolutely 💯 💯 💯

[@ysgdhio]

The animals don't seem to like the loud noises. :-(

[@lisabateman1544]

Yes, the little horse really jumped.

[@myroselle6987]

Near the end they showed the statue of “Balto” in Central Park. I like that!!

[@mattrice3993]

Jack gave that nile monitor a little nudge back at 1:39:24 😂

[@SandraNelson063]

The Pallas cat is hard wired to be wild . You can't "tame " them. They are adorable beyond words. And they are DONE with humans. They KNOW what we are. No, Jack, they CAN'T be domesticated. Their brains don't work that way.

[@ChadRiden]

1:35:14 nice! Walden's Puddle got a shout-out from Jack Hanna on 9/24/2002! They're doing great work here in Nashville, TN. I'm super proud to say I have volunteered there. Good people.

Tells that fact about dark spots under the eyes like it’s the first time we’ve heard it… every single time.
