Whenever I'm feeling sad, I watch these episodes of Letterman with Hanna, makes me much happier. Thanks so much for sharing these

[@windwhipped5]

I was just talkin to a friend of mine we both do the same. ✌️

[@Ekaterina_aks]

For me the same

[@carriesee8547]

I literally cry from laughter. Tysm

[@Srrrrrrr...]

That's my favorite of all of Jack's appearances - with the blue tongued skink. I can't go to sleep without one of these playing.

[@georgecarberry9222]

Losing Jack Hanna's presence on TV to dementia has been a major loss to the conservation of wild animals of the world.

[@orangemanok5800]

I never tire of Jack's humor.

[@daveman439]

Guile-less, that's Jack.. ...the most literal minded..., endearing, , coolest animals ...& countless opportunities for laughs!

[@mooremiket]

I was at the taping for the 5/4/05 show with the armadillos, and to this day, I think them mating on his desk is the hardest I’ve ever laughed

[@armand187]

I absolutely love Jack Hanna and Dave… such great sense of humour while trying to educate us. I am so sad that Jack now had Alzheimer and is not quite himself… such a shame that a brilliant mind is being lost.

[@marlenemeyer2335]

Thank you, Don for compiling these shows. I'm injured and these shows really cheer me up.

[@jayonnaj18]

Jack Hanna could be so hilarious with his answers and comments and I just loved him!!!

[@lulasalem1250]

Don, thank you so much for doing this. Jack Hanna was one of my favorites on Letterman.

[@saxefoner]

The interplay between Dave and Jack is real and hilarious. Jack is a genuinely ditsy character and comedy genius with Dave ensues.

[@schnauzermom2922]

I am enjoying all of these uploads. Thank you for taking the time to put these together. ❤️

[@tammybailey531]

It’s so sad about Jakes dementia! I hope Dave has kept in touch!

[@billy9497able]

He mentioned he talked to him about a year ago.

[@randyj420]

So many amazing animals and so many laugh-out-loud moments.

[@dianewinters8628]

I miss Jack Hanna & Dave. I learned so much watching his visits there.

[@glenn5903]

It break's my heart knowing what is happening to him.😢😢😢

[@pamelalagree-kanotz6845]

Laughed SO HARD when baby orangutan crapped on Dave's desk!

[@realkangaroocafevietnam]

Thanks so much Don. These old shows are absolutely sensational.

[@dongiller]

Thanks!

[@willperryman4559]

I’m so glad I found this channel, I’ve been watching all of the Jungle Jack Hannah Dave Letterman series and they are so funny, what an incredible sense of humor Jack has, and the banter between Jack and Dave is so refreshing. I remember seeing some of these and Hannah is one of the best guests on Letterman 🤷🏻‍♂️😂👍😂

[@James-kv6kb]

The Australians paid a fortune to this show to be able to copy it exactly all the moves every part of it and it was a great success

[@mainmaam]

I really appreciate all the effort to compile these posts for viewing!

[@pamelalagree-kanotz6845]

Jack Hannah's segments are the best!

[@janetdobie9722]

These are fabulous...Love these shows

[@suzannemowat6167]

What a comedic act..hilarious.

[@lisam7511]

Love these!

[@windwhipped5]

He often knew more than he let on. But his mind races like mine and sometimes struggles to keep his mind on one thought tto long before being distracted by dave or whatever..

[@mainmaam]

These are great! Thanks for posting!

[@Daymarzz]

Thank God no watermark on this one, really annoying when there's something black on the screen cause u can't see it as it blends in with the watermark...i appreciate ur effort in compiling these segments anyways thanks

[@dongiller]

The watermarks can’t be avoided in some cases, though I have been able to dilute them.

[@dianewinters8628]

We have fiber tours in the summer in NYS & I've helped with the shearing of the Angora Rabbits, they're so cute & soft. There's Alpacas, Llamas, Sheep, & Goats. They clean & spin the fur to make sweaters, gloves, scarves, & hats. It's a beautiful process.

[@kristn6513]

Thank you for the upload ✌️💙

[@judithwerner5301]

The wolf pups are adorable.

[@astilealavatica1404]

Giving the Jack Hanna episodes some comment love

[@craigrussell3062]

It's nice that some of the endangered animals are doing better now than ~20 years ago. Jack said scimitar oryx was extinct in the wild, but since 2016, a breeding program has started reintroducing them to the wild from an enclosure. Also the cheetah has moved from "endangered" to "vulnerable" (i.e. in the right direction). Sadly, Jungle Jack himself ain't doing so well these days

[@pibly7784]

Some birds are indeed smart - such as corvids: crows, ravens.

[@judithwerner5301]

Yes. Crows are extremely intelligent.

[@claudecat]

I've been binge watching these for a few days now and of course the segments are great, Jack's hilarious, Dave's reactions are great, etc. But you begin to notice that over the years the same animals appear numerous times, generally with the claim from Jack that "you've never seen one of these I bet..." Dave also appears to completely forget even things like having previously held a baby gorilla. Then there's the Hanna list of facts, that gets repeated with each animal's return engagement. He really REALLY NEEDS to get the whole list in before the critter gets out of hand. It's like he won't get paid unless he says certain key phrases, no matter how bungled the delivery. Not that it's not entertaining, just odd. But Jack's weirdness is why I love these clips so much, not the 23rd baby cheetah or skink.

[@HUNmerlin]

I like that during the lockdown zoos realized pandas just needed privacy for breeding, and apparently armadellos needed cameras pointed at them.

[@clifforddriver9434]

Listen, if the rodent is three hundred pounds. He doesn't have to bite you. He can just sit on you.

[@GayleSmith-hj1wj]

Good idea. Going to try this.

[@dancingcloudlew4311]

This stuff is still enjoyable people. Sadly, the Jungle Jack isn't doing well. It's very rare to find laugh-out-loud humor these days. There is a mutual understanding and appreciation between these two very different guys.

[@ChadRiden]

1:22:20 I'm sure it was a prop for a bit in the show, but I was delighted to see a bottle of Jack Daniels behind Dave's desk

[@shellydean5951]

Really?

[@antlerking69]

My favorite Hanna 😂

[@samjohnson764]

Really like the capy!

[@nancyhowell4505]

This was even funnier with her reactions! 😂

[@daleschroeder-jm9gu]

This is way better than Johnny Carson's animals on his show

[@LiveCamsAllOverTheWorld]

What did I learn today? That Drew Barrymore had a crush on David letterman many years ago.

[@lhingsantiago2692]

FunnY how Jack lost his temper when Letterman didn't want to feed the komodo dragon a piece of steak. The way he yank that steak shows frustration. Then he remembered he is on 📺. Priceless.

[@annalee117]

I am dying! Wanna hold that baby 🐻

[@jordanbolm8517]

Awesome! Jack Hanna is the shit 👌

[@this-is-slammin-549]

I do feel bad for Jack. But he is so awkward and spastic, it would be hard for Dave NOT to take the setups. Jack is a legend nevertheless. Thanks Jack for everything you’ve done. So unfortunate what he and his family have to endure.

[@marlenemeyer2335]

Nice to watch these during the writer's strike! No Kimmel, Fallon, etc.

[@codydavidyates72]

"People eat emus. I wouldn't eat these , these is my buddy's."

[@LetArtsLive]

😂 I noticed Dave has a bottle of Jack under his desk

[@dongiller]

If so, it’s fake.

[@asmaakim4696]

this actress is sweetheart because she like animals

[@BoZombies4ever]

Jarrod there 💕

[@katpham2466]

🥰🥰🥰

[@ahnanda68]

There are lots of snakes in Virginia I don't know about cobras but they act the same. Pretty sure that's a Jerry Garcia bear 😻

[@johnjancar6152]

Where are these from. From the zoo lol

[@Fatherofheroesandheroines]

I had one of those hooded chameleons jump on me when I was in Iraq. I had no idea what it was and I yelped like a kicked dog lol. 31:39 one more beaver jokes and I'm gonna pee myself lol.

[@tabethasgamingsite5508]

Jack you can get Them for pets and have Them because people have spandex cats can be pets.

[@davepane7306]

Every once in a while Letterman pronounces it Jack Anna, not Hanna... wonder why.

[@cefcat5733]

She has such a lovely dress. Did you buy her a new one? Those guys have claws.

[@debidehm9129]

Cleopatra was killed by a s Asp

[@tabethasgamingsite5508]

People have them for pets so people have herd from them before so they can be pets okay.

[@MrLeglamp]

I never thought i would see armadillo porn, and I'm sorry I did.

[@cjever6625]

1:11:58 Was that the inspiration for Alan Kalter's Celebrity Interview segment? 😱😱

[@onion6foot]

Is Jack left-handed?

[@lorimoore74]

Kate Hudson played the dumb blonde a little too well.

[@pepper13111]

Let’s feed him to something.

[@PROMOneil]

Why'd Hanna let the komodo lick him if it has so much bacteria like he said?

[@davidmackenzie5403]

Good way to pick up girls Jack

15:35 Late Show Alert, was that real or a joke?

[@dongiller]

A joke. There were several such “alerts”; I chose to include just a few.

[@marlenemeyer2335]

Sounds familiar. But I can't name it right now.
