It’s my goal to get it to match her enthusiasm for wigs and celebrity gossip!

In my latest appearance, I pulled out all the stops and brought some of the cutest, cuddliest baby animals around. In the face of such adorableness, even Wendy’s natural trepidation around wild animals melted away.

And even better, she helped me promote National Wildlife Federation’s Wild Animal Baby Adoption program!

Here’s the clip.  Enjoy, and don’t forgot to adopt a wild animal baby and help support NWF’s work to protect wildlife.

Not all the wildlife that can benefit from a wildlife-friendly garden are songbirds, butterflies and cute, furry mammals. Some of them are slimy, slithery and nocturnal too, and they are no less important or cool to see (although hosts Jenna Wolf and Lester Holt still might not be convinced based on their funny facial expressions).

Watch the segment below and meet some of these non-traditional species, and then submit your garden to become a Certified Wildlife Habitat!

Special thanks to partner American Beauties Native Plants for providing the gorgeous plants for the segment.

I’ve done appearances promoting everything from NWF’s Certified Wildlife Habitat program, to our international work to protect tropical forests, to our Wildlife Adoption program to National Wildlife Week.

During my most recent appearance, I brought on a variety of black and white animals, including a Vietnemese potbellied pig that decided to poop all over the table in the middle of the segment.  It was pretty hilarious, but hey,  a pig’s gotta do what a pig’s gotta do.

Sadly, the current incarnation of Martha’s show has come to a close after seven seasons.  The crew just finished their last episode,  and in celebration they’ve released a video showing some bloopers from this final season–and my segment with the pooping pig made it into the final cut!

You can watch the blooper reel here.

And here’s the full segment:

Martha, if you’re reading this, it’s been an honor and a lot of fun to be your guest over the years.  Thanks for helping to spread NWF’s conservation message to your many fans.

Of the two hosts, Hoda is a the more skittish when it comes to the animals I bring on the show, especially when it comes to touching or holding them.  So I was particularly proud of her this time around, as she bravely held out her hand to hold a creature that is actually venomous, an emperor scorpion.

Watch the segment and join me in congratulating Hoda on her bravery, which helped me get the message out that just because an animal has the ability to sting (or bite or scratch or whatever) doesn’t mean it needs to be unnecessarily feared,  just respected.

And of course, enjoy the other extraordinary wildlife I brought with me too!

With winter newly upon us I included a few  animals that are specially adapted to cold, snowy environments, and took the year-end opportunity to celebrate the close of National Wildlife Federation’s year-long celebration of our 75th Anniversary.

In keeping with the theme, I of course brought on a wild turkey.  I wanted to show viewers the wild version of the domestic bird that is the centerpiece of the holiday.   As you’ll see when you watch the clip below, the turkey flew up to the table to get the spotlight but was unfortunately (for me) upstaged by an incontinent baby beaver.   You can’t plan this stuff, folks.

Needless to say, it was a fun, whacky segment with Kathie Lee and Hoda (it always is) and I was able to share facts about some great North American wildlife and also to promote NWF’s new Choose Your Cause campaign.

From the NWF family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

I will be appearing on this first-ever “all animals” episode of The Martha Stewart Show which airs Friday, November 18th on Hallmark Channel.

For my segment, I brought a few “backyard wildlife” species to promote National Wildlife Federation’s Certified Wildlife Habitat^® program.   Martha’s a fan and participant of the program.  In fact,  I certified Martha’s yard as an official wildlife habitat with NWF back in 2007.

Tune in or set your DVR and learn a little more about the animals that share your neighborhood.

Here’s a teaser clip for the episode.  See if you can figure out which animals are from my segment.

Check out my appearance on the Wendy Williams Show with some classic Halloween wildlife.  Even though Wendy was scared of some of the animals, I thought she did a great job.  You have to see her face when she holds the scorpion and the giant toad!

I always tease Hoda because she gets uncomfortable around the animal ambassadors that I bring on my Today Show appearances (she makes the best faces!). But I have to say, I think Seth outdid Hoda with his reactions to the animals this time around.

Seth was a good sport and I guess not everyone can be an animal geek like me, but how could you say that the baby wildebeest that I bottle fed during the segment was ugly?!

Watch the clip and tell me what YOU think.
