Jack Hannah with cobra on Late Show

They both knew it was a void. Jack just acted like an idiot around it. Bob was very lax with it because it was a void.

I have forgotten more about herps than he will ever know. His shows and stints on Letterman are proof of that. Letterman even has a greater knowledge of herps!

Trust me when I say this....it was a venomoid. There is no way...NO WAY...that snake would have made it on the show if it were not.

Okay, that makes sense. I did think it was pretty stupid to bring it on the show. Now I am surprised that Bob would be part of the circus.

Venomous or not you still need a qualified handler for the animal. Honestly I dont think Bob had as much trouble containing that snake as it was prepared to look like he was. I mean you cant really predict what an animal is going to do, but he is more than skilled to have contained that animal without people jumping all over the place to save themselves. Ya know....but it gets the audience into it and keeps the ratings up.

Why would Bob be part of the circus? Notoriety? To be called one of the best herpetologist on national tv? Having your face on national television? Slamming drinks back in the green room with celebrities? 15 minutes of fame? Money? LOL. Sooo many reasons. No surprise here.
