That’s what I’m saying. That TV moment was a crowning accomplishment.

What does it say about my maturity level that I giggled about this for a full minute, then e-mailed it to two people?

Also, while I generally avoid reading YouTube comments (for obvious reasons), I read some and it seems this bizarre Jack Hanna hate isn’t entirely uncommon.

I wasn’t aware that you had to have several PhDs to be a zookeeper. Though the OP left off the most offensive part: that BA is in Business and Political Science. THE HORROR!

Jack Hanna may be a moron, but he made some great cartoons with that Barbera fellow.

Fine, it wasn’t **my** armadillo.

On an unrelated note, I must admit he didn’t come across as a very expert expert on the Letterman clip.

I caught him the last time he was on Letterman (I think). He came off as a total idiot animal expert wise. Maybe he was tired. Maybe he was having a bad day. Maybe the years are catching up with him. But I was not impressed.

Jack flinches and stammers so much on the air, I always wondered how the hell he kept doing the job he did. He looks like a man who’s been waiting so long for something awful to happen that he can’t even breathe out and relax when nothing does.

That’s why the name of that movie was “We Bought A Zoo”. It’s the only way he could get the job.

Jack Hanna is to zoo keepers what Foster Brooks was to drunks.

How about Jack Hanna is to zookeepers what Dr. Oz is to doctors.

Anyone know who makes his shirts? I can’t find a pic with a logo that I can read, and they look real comfortable.

I think I found it. It looks like it’s a [Cabelas Serengeti Safari II](http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=733237) shirt.

I’m assuming that the OP _is_ Jack Hanna, just seeing if anyone will come to his defense.

Poor little guy. Must be so lonely. You know, except for the Colobus Monkeys.
