The crispy, juicy chicken sandwich at Burger King.
It's just 99 cents. The taste isn't the only thing that makes you go.
When you have it your way, it just tastes better.
What's not to enjoy about our next guest? She was on one of my all-time favorite shows in the 70s.
Laughing! She's currently touring the country in the very successful run of The Wizard of Oz.
And of course she made me laugh every week with those wacky characters on. Laughing! Woo!
Take a look.
Lady, could I interest you in a knocker?
I love you!
Ha! I got one!
Please welcome Joanne Worley!
Well, Joanne Worley! Hi, Johnny!
Who are you? And what are you wearing?
What does that look like? A divine cape, isn't it? Heaven? Woo!
It's gorgeous! Did you notice my shoes?
I gave them to you! Thank you! You're welcome!
And I have a present for you, my pretty!
When you want to scare your children, you can wear my witch gloves.
These are for you, my darling. Those are scary, Joanne! They're divine!
Your children are going to get well immediately. They see these.
Here, honey! Blow your nose! No, mommy! No!
Please, no! Mommy! How do you do the whole show with these on? They're hard to manage.
That's why I am an actress. Do not try this at home. I am a professional.
Now, this is the best part ever.
Fine. Aren't those heavens? Oh, please!
And the thing about the witch is that all she wants are the ruby slippers.
And I come and do your show, and I don't have to do Wizard of Oz anymore.
Now, don't say that! We want you to do it! You're starting your run in LA.
I am in LA at the Pantages, and in two weeks we go to Costa Mesa, and I'm home.
I love New York, and I started out here in New York, but the cockroaches drove me away.
I understand. I know.
So now we're in Los Angeles, and I'm home with my husband and my doggies, but at night I go do Wizard of Oz.
And it's what a great... I mean, is it the greatest, most fun thing? Because it must be.
Yes. You know what happens? In the middle of the show, I change from Miss Gulch, before your very eyes,
into the Wicked Witch in green makeup while I'm flying on a bicycle! Ooh, neato!
How about the little kids who have never seen it before? Can you hear people? They scream up stuff?
Well, especially what's really great, you know, in doing comedy, is to hear little kids laugh.
Is there any sound in the world that is better? And we were just here in New York at Madison Square Garden,
5,000 little kids going, eeeee! It's divine. And I call myself Joanne Appleseed.
You know that legend of Johnny Appleseed? Wherever he would go, he would put apple seeds so trees would grow and people would have food.
So what we're doing with the Wizard of Oz, we are growing little audiences of tomorrow by throwing...
By having a wonderful theater experience for kids. That's so true.
Kids around the age of about three, I think they're ready for a wonderful theater experience.
Oh yes. My son's been to many shows. He's four years old. And he's many, many. He loves Beauty and the Beast and Miss Wardrobe right there.
Yes. He loves the tape. It was his favorite tape and I took him to see the show and sat through that, sat through Lion King.
And I sent it into Mission Lion King and I said, you want to go home now? He says, no, Mom, I did some big show.
See, he knows. He's a critic at four years old now. You're bringing him up right. I'm doing what I can.
I was brought up on laughing on you. Oh, I know. And look how you turned out.
See that? Woo! Woo! Yay!
What a revolutionary TV in so many ways. I know. And by comparison, what's on today, you can see anything on cable.
But some of the things were considered gracey when we did them. Like people, we actually danced with the bikinis on.
Oh, shame! And things written on our body. Goldie Hahn loved to do that because she loved the sable brushes.
But that's another show. I hated it. You know, that's when I started wearing boas to cover up my tummy.
Oh, really? And they said, oh, just right. And they would write the things and I would dance and I'd go like this with the boa.
I hated doing it, but Goldie loved it. Judy loved it. But that's another show too.
The other thing about laughing is that we would try the censors. We would push them to the limit.
And we would try and get things by. Red herrings they would put in the script.
For instance, there was one thing where I would hold a cassava and a honeydew melon in front of my front places and just say, melon!
And the censor would say, you can't say that. What are you talking about? She's talking about the melons, the cassava and the honeydew.
What's wrong? Where is your mind? So, it got you.
Can you just say melon again like that? Melon!
You know another show I love, the Gong Show.
The Gong Show was brilliant back then.
Well, I tell you, the Gong Show wasn't fun to do when you were on the panel because, well, I know you know what I'm talking about.
A lot of people thought they were really, truly good. And if you were on the panel, they wanted you to gong them.
And it was being mean. And I found I couldn't do it.
I would say, you know, I don't think, it was too hard. You know how they do five game shows and all day long being mean to people was just too much.
But I love doing Pyramid. I love that. I love giving people money.
Yes, you were very good at those game shows. I remember. I remember. On the Pyramid I thought, get you, you're in.
And you know, I really hated when I would lose for the contestant too because I took it personally.
Because it was like a gift, being able to give them a lot of money.
I so agree. I hate when they lose. You used to sit on your hands. I loved that.
When you were giving the clues, you'd sit on your hands.
I don't want to cheat. I don't want to cheat.
Because you didn't want to cheat, remember?
Exactly.
Because if you used your hands, they buzzed you. Ooh, they were mean back then.
Now, I know the new Hollywood Squares is wonderful.
Yes.
You know, I did the original one with Peter Marshall. And I'm one of the few women in Hollywood who can actually say she's been under Paul Lin.
Oh, yes. Hi, John.
Woo-hoo!
Marvick Cooper. I used to do an impression of Paul Lin in fifth grade.
Let's hear it.
I don't even know where I got this from, but my brother Eddie and Dory, my neighbors here, can tell you.
We used to go, here's our Paul Lin impression. Marvick Cooper.
I don't know what it was, but that was one of his answers one time. Marvick Cooper.
Marvick Cooper.
That's good.
He would talk as he laughed. He was a funny, funny man.
Oh, he could say anything and be funny. Anything. And he was.
Now, you just said hello to Mr. McD. You two worked together. We didn't get to work together.
No.
I left right as you were entering Grease on Broadway.
Yes. And as you know, I did Grease because I desperately wanted my picture up at Sardi's.
Yes.
Which, in show business, is very important if you're in theater.
And I'd been in so many bombs that they never ran long enough to have a picture up. So finally, I got my caricature up.
Hi, Johnny! How have you been?
You're taking such good care of each other, you guys. It just makes me smile when I watch your show.
I know you're together. It makes me happy.
I adore my little McDaniel man.
I know.
And you're going to do a little song now? He says we're going to sing together, but he told me...
Us. Yeah.
...that you sound so great, that your voice is in such good form. He said he told me that in the dressing room.
Did you just not say that? Oh, you are so sweet. Thank you, my John. So I want you to do it alone.
No!
No, come on!
No, no, you're going on one line.
No, no, no. I'll go in on one line.
Okay.
One line.
I thought this was it because you know every song in musical theater.
I know the song.
You know every song.
I know the song, but I heard you're in full great voice.
All right.
Come on, Joanne Warley. Sing, Joanne!
Some people can get a thrill
Knitting sweaters and sitting still
That's okay for some people
Who don't know they're alive

For some humdrum people, I suppose
Well, they can sit and rock

Alright, ever since I first saw my first guest wrestling crocodiles, dangling poisonous snakes,
and running from wild birds on his hit TV show, Crocodile Hunter,
I thought to myself, he's out of his mind!
And I got to have him on my show.
Please welcome from Down Under, the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin.
Steve, I'm not going to say hello.
Hi Steve, hi.
How are you? Nice to meet you.
Oh jeez, keep the mouth away from me.
Steve, Steve, Steve.
Alright Steve, we're okay.
Here, we'll get the tail end out this way.
Okay, get his tail end down that way.
Now Steve, sweetie, is that your friend?
Yeah, this is Annie. She's a good mate of mine.
She is?
Yeah.
Mind you, she'll bite me on the head if I'm not careful.
Is that a baby?
Yeah, she's only five years of age.
She's five?
Yeah, she's only a youngster yet.
Where are her parents?
Her parents are in Florida.
In Florida?
Okay, now Steve, Steve, how did you get into this whole insane line of work?
Rosie, I was born into it, you know, I didn't have a big choice.
He's okay, sir.
Oh, that's nice, his mouth near me.
She's okay.
She's alright now.
I was born into it, I didn't have a great deal of choice.
But for Terry, you know, she comes from Oregon.
So she's from the US, she came into my zoo, we own and operate Australia Zoo.
And she came in and I was doing this wildlife educational demonstration
with one of my big crocs, this big 15 footer, his name's Agro,
and he's a real hard, gnarly bloke that I caught out of the wild.
And so I'm in there, come on Agro, come on, he's whack, you know,
I grabbed this chicken and I looked up and here's this beautiful woman.
Yeah.
Our eyes met, fell in love mate, like from 20 feet away.
Honestly, love at first sight.
At first sight, so then I'm in there and I lost track of what I was doing.
Agro comes out, whack, trying to kill me and I'm like whoa, crikey,
jumped over a couple of fences and then the demo, oh, let's go now.
I started talking, we fell in love, several months later we were married.
Oh, that's really sweet, that is.
Yeah.
And was she always into the whole alligator snake thing?
Not at all, mate.
Never was.
How's this, so we get married in Eugene, Oregon.
Yes.
Sit up there.
Oh, my Lord.
And it was the scariest thing I've ever done, getting married,
I tell you what, I was sweating bullets, mate.
It was.
Really scary.
And so we got married and then I got a phone call straight after the wedding,
John Stain, our very famous producer, director, he's gone,
Steve, there's this problem croc, he wants you to come and catch it.
I'm like, but what about the honeymoon?
Well, you're going to have to come out.
Our honeymoon was the first two documentaries we ever did.
Really?
You betcha.
And you actually caught a wild crocodile.
Oh, several.
Several.
Yeah.
And the first time Terry saw a wild croc, I've gone,
okay, sweetheart, jump on its head.
And she did.
The trick is instead of injecting it with tranquilizers to make it safe for the animal,
you're right, mate, you see how it's settled down.
Yeah, yeah, but it's nice to keep your hands on them for me.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
And so rather than giving them a tranquilizer, you just very gently
get your hands over their eyes.
Okay.
And then they, and then they...
Here he comes.
He's going to take it and get your next...
Have you trapped now to the wire mic?
All right, he took it away.
Look, okay, now this one I don't mind.
Look at this one.
Oh, yeah.
What is this little thing?
This is a wallaby.
Oh, geez, I don't want him jumping though.
Okay.
I think he's cute as long as you hold him tight.
Oh, you're all right, you're all right.
I'm not afraid.
He's a little kangaroo koala bear.
Okay.
These things can kick by crikey.
Oh, geez, Steve, be careful.
Oh, Lord, help me.
This is a really bad idea.
Okay, now are these...
Oh, my God.
Okay, okay, okay.
All right, how...
How does somebody help him?
One of your Animal Planet people, he's connected to the mic.
I don't know what I can do.
Come here, person.
Hello.
Thank you.
That's okay.
There you go.
Watch the mic.
Okay, let's...
Why don't we get the mic in there somewhere?
Get a new mic.
All right, we don't need that mic.
We have lots of mics.
That's okay.
I'm doing your...
There you are, Steve.
Go down.
Okay.
Now, let me get your other mic.
Look under there for your other mic.
Oh.
Find your other mic.
Oh, there it is.
There, now go over your shirt.
Oh, my God.
Now, let me clip that on before the...
All right.
Are we good?
You're good.
Oh, he's me, Mike.
Look at this little beauty.
Oh, my God in heaven, Steve Irwin.
That is a beautiful little beauty.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Steve Irwin, that is the most frightening thing I've ever seen, really.
Now that is...
I'll hang on to the head and if you get the tail in.
I'm not going to touch it, I'm sorry, sir.
Are you sure?
No, isn't there somebody with khakis on who can do this?
Now, Steve, wait, this is a bollard constrictor.
It's a python.
Python.
Yeah, these grow to be one of the biggest snakes in the world.
You know, they can grow up to around 20 feet.
I'll keep the head out this way.
Okay.
That feels nice.
Alright.
You're completely safe, Rosie.
Are you kidding?
Oh, mate.
Is it poisonous?
No, pythons don't have any venom.
Watch this.
You won't bite will you, sweetheart?
No problem.
Now do you know you have a little scratch on your cheek?
Yeah, the wallaby gave me a bit of a click, mate.
It's nature of the industry.
I'm gonna touch this because I-
Good luck.
I booked you and I said I would and he's enjoyable.
Alright, we're gonna take a break
and come back with the scarier, you have a scarier animal?
Even scarier than this.
Scarier animal right after this,
I don't know that I can live without it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Been here.
Done that.
Heard that.
Tried that.
Life getting a little predictable?

We're back with Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin
who's on Animal Planet.
His show is on Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday
and I watch it every time I can't.
And we're giving everyone in the audience the Crocodile Hunter hat.
Look, it's got an alligator bite out of it.
See? Comes like that.
Alright, now you educated me during the commercial that
this is not a poisonous nor is it dangerous in any way.
That's right. It's a python which means it has no venom.
To kill its food, what it has to do is first strike,
which means it's got teeth so it strikes,
constricts, curls around its prey, let's say it grabbed a big rat.
Curls around it and then squeezes.
A lot of people think when they constrict they crush your bones.
That's not what happens.
It'll tighten around the chest cavity and as the animal exhales
it'll tighten up so your breath gets shorter and shorter and shorter
till you're dead.
Got ya.
How's this? This guy in Sumatra, which is in Indonesia,
got killed by a python about another four,
five feet bigger than this.
His generator conked out and in the night,
didn't have a torch, he's in the jungle,
he went out to check his generator,
whap, whoosh, whoosh, and got him.
But this is not making me feel better because you just told me,
no you just told me it was safe.
She's very quiet. I know this one personally.
But she has the teeth that could bite and then...
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Most animals have teeth and anything that's got teeth
has the capacity to bite.
I know this snake personally.
Okay.
Very pleasant snake.
I trust you very much. Keep it away from me.
You got no use of steel, Rosie. You really have.
Steve, sweetie, I don't.
Alright, now you have even a more scary animal.
I've got the scariest animal I've ever come across.
Okay.
But you might want to give me a bit of room because...
Okay, sir.
This thing gets out of control.
Alright.
I just don't want to be held responsible.
Okay.
Wait here, sweetheart. You're a good girl.
Oh, please, Lord.
Hello, little snake. I'm your friend Rosie. I'm the host.
Whoo!
Oh!
Look at this little beauty.
Is that your baby?
That's your baby?
This is my baby.
Oh, Steve, she's a beauty.
Hi, sweetie.
This is Rosie, sweetie.
Your daddy's a little sweet.
Yes.
A little greedy.
He has sweet...
Now, you never let her near these animals, do you?
Rosie, under normal circumstances, I would have...
My advice would be don't let your children near snakes.
Never, ever, ever.
But for me, I've grown up in my father's footsteps.
I looked up to him as my hero, my king, my legend.
Yeah.
And I grew up just wanting to be him.
Yeah.
Guess what Bindi's favorite animal is?
Don't tell me.
Watch this.
No.
Come on, Bindi.
Oh, are you honestly?
She grows up at Australia Zoo.
She's already been with alligators, water moccasins, rattlesnakes.
My Lord in heaven, I may need some medication.
Look, sweetheart, it's the snake.
Okay.
It's the snake.
Oh, okay, Steve, that's good.
Come on, that's nice.
Don't you like the snake?
Oh, she loves snakes.
When you get big, you call Aunt Rosie, we'll bring you to therapy.
Yes, she will.
Aunt Rosie will bring you to therapy.
Yeah.
Oh, she is a beauty.
I thank you very much.
I'm sorry that you got scratched.
Look at him, he got scratched by his wallaby.
He wasn't an alligator, huh?
He risks his life literally on his show every single Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Watch it, it's unreal, and get my honey away from that snake's mouth.
We'll be right back right after this.
Thank you.
Say hi, sweetie.
