Introducing our latest release and new series for 2016! 
Some of The Tonight Show’s most unforgettable moments occurred when Joan Embery from the San Diego Zoo and Jim Fowler of Wild Kingdom introduced audiences and Johnny to the always-unpredictable world of wild animals. This exclusive 2 DVD collection features the highlights from eight previously unreleased episodes with Johnny’s Animal Experts and their wild friends who stop by and steal the show.
 
We’ve wanted to release these classic animal shows for some time. However, due to the high costs of music clearances and the occasional technical difficulty these shows have remained in the Vault - until now!
