@@AniWatX that’s true even acting scared can annoy or frighten many animals. Especially reptiles. My tame tegu tried to bite a friend for being too shaky petting him. Because it makes them feel insecure they sense your fear and they become fearful themselves.
@@trueking1857 I agree, animals glean so much on the little information they have about a new person. They are very sensitive and deserve more respect than these celebs playing scared give them. All animals deserve respect. If only this could be achieved in the world.
listening to him speak about our planet vs space is such a treat. its entirely different to what we think when growing up, but our planet, despite the ups and downs is a beautiful thing
Jonathan Ross sees a scorpion in front of him and instantly picks it up... The American chat show hosts bring on a rabbit and they all go crazy with fear! 🤣
@@normal-potato05 You're right. Only who actually listens to guests and let them speak. Also, often bringing Bill Burr, who always says smth that's not always "mainstream thinking" only Conan can do.
I am from Greece but because thankfully we didn't use voice dubbing on foreign programs but instead we only used subtitles, I was listening to Sir Attenborough's voice on every animal documentary on the TV since I was a little kid. Whenever I heard his voice on a program I always new that it was going to be great! The English have by far the best TV presenters/actors and TV programs in the World.
Same sentiments from America, long before all our nature docs took off and well after.. There has always been the comforting and intelligent voice of nature, Sir David Attenborough
I could listen to Sir David Attenborough for hours on end, he has some interviews on spotify, and i've listened to them several times, but even if i heared them before they are still so nice to listen to.
British talkshow: host picks up a genuinely dangerous creature with calm and carefulness American talkshow: host fake screams and over reacts at a totally harmless creature
I remember the first time I watched one of his docos, private life of plants and he was absailing down a massive tree and thinking he's very spritly for a man of his age! That was over 20 years ago and he seems to have hardly aged at all. Attenborough isn't a national treasure, he's a global treasure and an Icon who's inspired generations of people to appreciate the natural world.
2:20 Jonathan needs to win an award for that he didnt need to pick that up 2:42 the look on jamies face "your a madman" 5:53 what if we found a space caterpillar
He is by FAR the bravest talk show host. I think most of them are wimps and even I, wouldn't have done that....even though I knew the scorpion wouldn't try to sting him.
Jonathan Ross is a natural and sincere host. The others would do well to try and learn something from him without trying to get laughs from inappropriate and disrespectful behaviour to either the guests or the animals they cared enough bring to us to show us that we're not the only ones on Earth that matter.
Never been a fan of Jonathan Ross but to see him actually want to engage with the animals brought on is really refreshing compared to American show hosts.
I think the Earth vs Space argument can best be simplified into species vs territory. Those who prefer exploring our planet tend to do so because of all the different creatures we've yet to discover, whereas space-lovers do so because of the unique landscapes and vast regions different to our own. This is however subjective, I'm just giving an idea
@Tom I do understand the lure of space and it is super interesting, but I agree with sir david, there is so much wonder on the earth to discover and also so much money spent on space exploration could be used to save our planet and its species
Sir David Attenborough has shaped my life more than he can possibly know. From when I was a child till now a grownup, I'm always learning from this man.
He is great friends with Queen Elisabeth they are very close in age. I hope she sees a lot of him and he will be invited to the festivities this summer. At that age you don’t have many friends left and he is a man with a great disposition and humor. A very nice man all around no pretension or stuffiness.
Snails are, indeed, very strange when mating. They have both male and female organs - located on their "necks" for lack of a better word - and when they mate *BOTH* snails get pregnant.
5:58 After watching Blue Planet 2, particularly episode 2 wherwe it deals with the deep ocean, yeah... the deep is as strange and alien as any sci-fi stuff and it's real and amazing.
He’s right, their eyes are unique. Their feet are also unique. I believe chameleons are the only four toed creatures with their feet arranged with two on each side, so they can grasp things.
This man made the BBC credible .... without him it is/will be lost as they have not and I believe cannot replace him. I did think for a short while Australia had someone with the same enthusiasm and adoration for our wildlife but sadly he was taken too early to make any inroads... Steve Irwin.
Does anyone know what these two discussed while thinking they were off camera? Only intrigued? Would love to know if someone out there does, Twitter making a big deal of it.
As a reptile keeper THANK YOU for telling people they don't make good pets. Too many people want these animals because they look cool, not realising the equipment and specialised diet needed to keep them healthy.
not good pets for inexperienced* if you know anything about taking care reptiles, chameleons are wonderful pets. it's not a monitor lizard or a caiman lol
Another Australian checking-in here: also impressed he picked it up. I picked up a scorpion once , I let it walk into my flat hand. I would have been scared to pinch it like he did in case it got pissed off... But what he did worked really well!
This is an impressive talk show host bc I don't believe I've seen one willingly handle anything with a stinger or venom. Seems like usually the animal wranglers or caretakers basically throw the scorpion onto the host and the host is very scared. Maybe they play it up for the camera though.
Nature and stories and facts and interesting event different types and people and character and chapters and creepy animals and more so listen and learn and for information 😁❤
It's a nice change seeing the host not (acting) completely terrified of every single animal
True. Jimmy Fallon is the worst culprit. I know he likes to get laughs but I feel for the animals when he does it.
And one that actually lets the experts speak without constantly interrupting

@@tomislavlucic9346 unfortunately we don't actually find it funny either. It's annoying and done for cheap laughs as you stated

Same
Im American, but prefer British programs to anything we have, although Carl Sagan spoke in poetry, and, to my mind, is Americas' sir David.
Very nice of you to say! But the Greeks have better myths!
Same sentiments from America,
long before all our nature docs took off and well after..
There has always been the comforting and intelligent
voice of nature,
Sir David Attenborough
I could listen to David Attenborough's voice all day! So smooth and quiet, yet you can hear every word!
He could narrate a blank sheet of paper and make it seem interesting. This man is a treasure.
Sir David is a treasure to our Earth. I love this man. He made me fall in love with nature.
I could listen to Sir David Attenborough for hours on end, he has some interviews on spotify, and i've listened to them several times, but even if i heared them before they are still so nice to listen to.
Wait wait wait. Where can we find these?
An absolute national treasure is Sir David ❤️
come on man. unfair to keep him for only one nation
I fail to see what makes him so great. I find him annoying.
British talkshow: host picks up a genuinely dangerous creature with calm and carefulness

I could listen to and watch Sir David forever! Fascinating man.
Attenborough seems amazingly fit and sharp considering he's 96 years old
He makes me think joe biden must of been born round the time of the civil war
@@hardmcshaft7931 He's 96? Wow
Alot of eldery british men seem so sharp to me at least the ones ive seen
I died laughing at the end when sir David said “ have you seen snails 🐌 mating ? Slugs are even MORE EXCITING! “ His face when he said that! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The guy who yelled when he asked for silence while picking up the scorpion had me dying.
I have 2 people to thank for my love of animals, Mum & sir David. Used to watch his docos as a child.
I remember the first time I watched one of his docos, private life of plants and he was absailing down a massive tree and thinking he's very spritly for a man of his age! That was over 20 years ago and he seems to have hardly aged at all. Attenborough isn't a national treasure, he's a global treasure and an Icon who's inspired generations of people to appreciate the natural world.
he’s in his late 90s and has been gift to the world
i just want to take david with me home and listen to him tell stories of this planet every day...my god the guy is fascinating
Sir David looks 30 years younger than he actually is, no way he looks 96 years old.
I thought the same, seriously his genetics need to be studied, he has so much stamina for a 96 year old man
@@henrique7054 he's very mentally and physically active which helps a ton
2:20 Jonathan needs to win an award for that he didnt need to pick that up
2:42 the look on jamies face "your a madman"

Could you imagine landing on earth for the first time? How exciting that would be? We really take it for granted.
Love David Attenborough ❤
He is by FAR the bravest talk show host. I think most of them are wimps and even I, wouldn't have done that....even though I knew the scorpion wouldn't try to sting him.
I’m looking forward to seeing Prehistoric Planet next week
Ah, the legend that is Sir David really is great fun too! 🤩
that was amazingly brave picking up that scorpion
i have so much respect for sir
I'm glad Attenborough gets so much respect. He really deserves it
Much respect to the host for not only picking up a scorpion but allowing it to crawl on his hand! And he did it without acting like a total fool, too.
completely agree with him
Dude,,, that scorpion stunt.. Damn 😲
Sir David ladies and gents. What a man
what a legend
LEGEND !
Jonathan Ross is a natural and sincere host. The others would do well to try and learn something from him without trying to get laughs from inappropriate and disrespectful behaviour to either the guests or the animals they cared enough bring to us to show us that we're not the only ones on Earth that matter.
Attenborough tells a very funny story on Graham Norton Show about bats in Borneo.
Never been a fan of Jonathan Ross but to see him actually want to engage with the animals brought on is really refreshing compared to American show hosts.
This man needs whatever magic juice the queen has had because David’s presence is a blessing to this earth.
Johnathan got balls.
Jo Ross - bravest TV host what i saw.
Respect.

David is 96 years old yet moves like hes 50.
I love David Attenborough

That scorpion? Balls to that scorpion!
two British legends

At that age you don’t have many friends left and he is a man with a great disposition and humor. A very nice man all around no pretension or stuffiness.
He looks so good for someone in his 90s. Probably guess he was in his late 70s to early 80s.
This man is almost 100 years old.
And he looks like he's in great shape
He looks better than my 68 year old dad.
damn jonathan -- respect

I have lizards and bugs and crabs all kinds of animals, but even I would have been scared to pick up that scorpion! MASSIVE respect.
David Attenborough with a pet chameleon is excellently on brand
BANG!
This host is a boss I would love to see any American host do that
96 years old and he is still on television
The GOAT!
Chameleon and scorpion, actually.
British late night shows are so much better than America’s now.
well Jonathan Ross is braver than I thought lol
He walked the walk!
So cute and funny ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Bro!!!
The Legendary Grandpa David Attenborough really has the Perfect Documentary voice.
Like how Morgan Freeman has the Higher Being voice.

He just went for it picking up that scorpion. This talk show host has got bigger balls then most others in the industry LOL
Picking up the scorpion was pretty cool.
Andrew sachs was a national treasure too.
He’s right, their eyes are unique. Their feet are also unique. I believe chameleons are the only four toed creatures with their feet arranged with two on each side, so they can grasp things.
The scorpion part?! FFUCKKK TTHATTTT. THAT'S A MAN RIGHT THERE, MY GOD. NO THANK YOU.
Call him Sir Sir David Attenborough

I disagree with sir David about space, but I love him no less.
Does anyone know what these two discussed while thinking they were off camera? Only intrigued? Would love to know if someone out there does, Twitter making a big deal of it.
I would love to see David Attenborough and Brian Cox together.
the last hero of a bygone time
A knighthood is almost not enough for a titan like Attenborough (bearing in mind people like Andy Murray also have knighthoods)
Fucking 🐐
Just think of the species Sir David Attenborough Has introduced into this Country 😯
What is the name of the movie with the Kangaroo called

What did I just read😂
Gotta give it to Jonathan Ross...I'm from Australia and there is no way in hell I'd pick that scorpion up
Another Australian checking-in here: also impressed he picked it up.
I picked up a scorpion once , I let it walk into my flat hand. I would have been scared to pinch it like he did in case it got pissed off... But what he did worked really well!
😍
Bravo... Our American late night hosts would Never have picked up that scorpion...maybe Conan would've but doubtful
Word is God will personally greet Sir David Attenborough at the pearly gates to escort him to the most exclusive area
This is an impressive talk show host bc I don't believe I've seen one willingly handle anything with a stinger or venom. Seems like usually the animal wranglers or caretakers basically throw the scorpion onto the host and the host is very scared. Maybe they play it up for the camera though.
I’m watching from the comfort of my own home and I need a change of underwear. 😱
I'm on the way
The JR Show is according to me the only show worth watching.
Never seen this before but man if the tail came straight off so would Johnathan Ross
My veiled chameleon is nearly 6 years old
they do make ideal pets if you look afterthem properly feed them right and give them enough space
They make wonderful pets, they’re just incredibly high maintenance.
That's the thing though. High maintenance pets might be stressful which isn't fun.
@@Mothobius I mean they just mainly require of upkeep tbh. The actual care itself isn’t that hard.
what im wondering is how the hell do you tame a chamaeleon
I would aim my tame praying mantis at flies
I’m not turned on by space neither

Gotta say Johnathan Ross is the Bravest Talk show host... Hmm actually What's the fat guys name that flew with Tom Cruise? He's pretty brave too.
