>> Stephen: WELL, YOU'RE OUR FIRST ANIMAL HANDLER, OR ANIMAL
EXPERT WE'VE HAD ON THE SHOW.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE AN INCREDIBLY POPULAR-- OVER 1
BILLION VIEWS ON YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL, BRAVE WILDERNESS.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Stephen: OVER NINE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS.
THANK YOU FOR DRESSING THE PART.
>> I WAKE UP LIKE THIS.
ALL I HAVE TO DO IS PUT ON THE HAT AND I'M READY TO GO.
>> Stephen: MAYBE A LITTLE DEODORANT.
I'M FASCINATED BY SOME OF THE STUFF YOU DO ON YOUR SHOW.
ONE OF THE THINGS YOU'RE DOING, WHICH I'VE ALWAYS BEEN
FASCINATED WITH IS THE SCHMIDT STING PAIN INDEX IS?
>> IT'S SOMETHING YOU NEVER WANT TO FOLLOW.
WHY I CHOSE TO FOLLOW THIS ROAD MAP, WELL, THE YOUTUBE AUDIENCE
LOVES IT, BUT IT WAS CREATED BY ANANTMOLOGIST NAMED JUSTIN
SCHMIDT.
HE THOUGHT LET ME GET STUNG BY THINGS SO I CAN RATE THE PAIN
SCALE.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW HOW BAD DOES IT FEEL WHEN A BEE STINGS
YOU, OR A TARANTULA HAWK, OR THE BULLET ANT.
>> Stephen: I HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE BULLET ANT, HE SAID HE WAS
BITTEN BY A BULLET ANT, AND IT'S ELECTRIC AND LAY DOWN, THERE'S
NOTHING YOU CAN DO UNTIL IT'S OVER.
AND YOU DID IT.
>> THAT WAS A ROUGH DAY AT THE OFFICE FOR ME.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP HERE OF YOU GETTING BITTEN BY
THE BULLET ANT.
LET'S SHOW IT, AND I'D LIKE A REACTION FROM YOU AFTER IT.
JIM.
>> 2... OH, MY GOSH, THIS IS IT.
3.
>> IT'S SUCK MY ARM!
IT'S SUCKING MY ARM!
LOOK AT THAT!
OH!
OKAY, IT'S OFF!
IT'S OFF!
OH, MY GOSH!
OH!
>> YOU ALL RIGHT?
>> OH, MY GOSH, IT IS REALLY BAD!
>> Stephen: OKAY.
HOW LONG-- HOW LONG DOES THAT LAST?
>> WELL, THE STINGER WASN'T SUPPOSED TO STICK IN MY ARM.
IT'S LIKE STING, JUMP OFF, RIGHT?
BUT, NO, THE STINGER ACTUALLY GOT STUCK IN MY ARM, AND THE
PAIN LASTED 36 HOURS.
>> Stephen: LIKE THAT?
>> IT'S THAT BAD, GUYS.
>> Stephen: LIKE THAT?
>> LIKE THAT.
>> Stephen: DID THEY HAVE TO STRAP YOU DOWN?
>> UH, NO.
FORTUNATELY, I HAD TO WALK MYSELF UP OUT OF THE RAIN FOREST
TO GET BACK TO OUR JUNGLE HUT WHERE I JUST HAD TO ENDURE THE
PAIN UNTIL IT WORE OFF.
>> Stephen: AND DO YOU-- NOW, IN RETROSPECT, DO YOU THINK THAT
WAS A GOOD IDEA?
( LAUGHTER ).
>> YOU KNOW, AT THE TIME IT SEEMED LIKE IT BECAUSE THE
YOUTUBE AUDIENCE-- WE WORKED OUR WAY UP THE INSECT STING PAIN
INDEX.
I COULDN'T LET THEM DOWN, SO I WAS CURIOUS MYSELF TO SAY HOW
BAD IS THE STING OF AN ANT, COMPARED TO SOMETHING LIKE A
TARANTULA HAWK.
IT'S BAD, GUYS.
JUSTIN WAS RIGHT.
THE BULLET ANT IS THE MOST PAINFUL STING IN THE WORLD.
>> Stephen: YOU DID IT FOR THE CLICKS.
YOU HAVE SOME ANIMALS HERE FOR US TO TAKE A LOOK AT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT YOU HAVE HERE.
>> THERE ARE SOMIBILITY ANTS IN THE AUDIENCE.
THAT'S OKAY, GUYS.
JUST KEEP YOUR HANDS IN YOUR SEAT AND YOU'LL BE JUST FINE.
THE FIRST THING WE'RE BRINGING OUT-- THANK YOU, JUNGLE BOB.
HI, BUDDY!
THIS BIG GUY, I'M GOING TO SET HIM DOWN.
DON'T WORRY, YOU'RE TOTALLY FINE THERE, STEPHEN.
>> Stephen: WHAT HAVE WE HERE?
>> THIS IS A CUBAN ROCK IGHANA.
>> Stephen: IS IT FROM CUBA?
>> IT IS.
>> Stephen: HOW DID IT GET PAST THE EMBARGO?
>> HE HAS HIS PROPER PERMITS.
THAT WHAT HE'S NEEDS.
>> Stephen: CAN I TOUCH HIM?
>> TOUCH AND THEN ASK.
>> Stephen: HIM OR HER?
>> IT IS A HIM.
>> Stephen: HOW DO WE KNOW?
>> THE MALES GET BIGGER THAN THE FEMALES.
SEE THE DOMINANT POSTATURE HAS THERE.
>> Stephen: WOW.
>> LIKE TOUCHING A DANE SOR, RIGHT.
>> Stephen: HE'S NOT GOING TO BITE ME.
>> HE COULD, BUT THEY'RE NOT AGGRESSIVE.
>> Stephen: THEY'RE NOT AGGRESSIVE?
>>Y LIKE SNUGGLING.
THIS IS A NONAGGRESSIVE SPECIES.
>> Stephen: HE IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
BUT HE DOES LOOK, MY-- OKAY!
>> AND YOU KNOW-- SOMETIMES.
THOSE ARE KLEENEX, RIGHT?
GOOD, EXCELLENT!
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I WOULD-- I WOULD
RATHER HE BIT ME.
( LAUGHTER ) >> THIS IS WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE
A VIRAL VIDEO.
THIS IS WHAT HE DOES.
>> Stephen: LET'S MOVE ON.
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO FEED HIM SOME BANANA.
>> Stephen: I DON'T.
I THINK I DON'T WANT TO LOAD HIM UP AGAIN.
>> WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT'S NEXT.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW?
>> THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL A PLITLE BIT OF URIC ACID.
HE HAS A LITTLE STAGE FRIGHT, AND THAT'S WHY WE PUT A
PROTECTIVE COVER ON THE DESK SO I CAN GO TO THE BATHROOM ON THE
DESK.
>> Stephen: OH, LORD.
WHAT DO YOU-- >> THANKS, BIG GUY.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
JUST THE SALMA NELLA ALONE IS GOING TO KILL US, YOU REALIZE.
>> TAKE A COUPLE OF TYLENOL, AND YOU'LL BE FINE IN THE MORNING.
>> Stephen: WHAT IS THIS?
>> I WAS TOLD THAT YOU WERE INTERESTED IN BEING STUNG BY A
BULL ANT.
>> Stephen: I DID NOT SAY THAT.
I DID NOT SAY THAT.
>> BUT YOU WANTED TO ENTER THE BITE ZONE.
>> Stephen: I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING THAT WASN'T VERY
PAINFUL BUT I COULD GET BITTEN BY.
>> THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS LIZARDS IN THE WORLD.
THEY CAN BE FOUND ALL THROUGHOUT FLORIDA, AND MAYBE EVEN HERE IN
NEW YORK BECAUSE THEY SOMETIMES ESCAPE AS PEOPLE'S PETS.
AND IF YOU'RE BRAVE ENOUGH-- AND I KNOW YOU ARE-- YOU ARE GOING
TO BE BITTEN.
I'M GOING TO GRAB A BIG ONE.
>> Stephen: LIZARD DON'T REALLY BOTHER ME, BUT IS IT-- IS
IT GOING TO HURT?
WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S-- THAT'S YET TO BE DETERMINED BECAUSE HOW
ARE YOU GOING TO ENDIEWRT PAIN?
IT'S ALL ON YOU.
YOU HAVE TO MENTALLY PREPARE YOURSELF.
WHEN I DO THIS AND I'M BITTEN OR STUNG BY THINGS I WALK AROUND
AND PACE BEHIND THE CAMERAS BEFORE I GO THROUGH WITH IT.
WE CALL OUR AUDIENCE THE COYOTE PACK.
AND YOU CALL YOUR AUDIENCE COLBERT NATION.
>> Stephen: THAT WAS MY OLD SHOW.
I CALL THESE PEOPLE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> THAT ALSO WORKS TOO.
NOW, WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS LOOK RIGHT INTO THE CAMERA, AND YOU
SAY, "I'M STEPHEN COLBERT, AND I'M ABOUT TO ENTER THE BITE ZONE
WITH THE GREEN ANOEL.
>> Stephen: I'M STEPHEN COLBERT, AND I'M ABOUT TO ENTER
THE BITE ZONE WITH THE GREEN ANOEL?
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: ANOEL.
>> ARE YOU READY.
>> Stephen: WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO PUT ON ME?
>> BY THE EAR.
THE EAR IS THE BEST PLACE TO BE BITTEN BY THIS ONE.
>> Stephen: THE EAR?
>> THE EAR, AND THEN IT HANGS THERE LIKE A LITTLE EARRING.
DON'T MOVE.
ZOOM IN, GUYS.
READY?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> WELL DONE!
>> Stephen: YOU CAN CHECK OUT HIS CHANNEL "BRAVE WILDERNESS"
ON YOUTUBE.
COYOTE PETERSON, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
