>> GOOD MORNING, GOOD PEOPLE, GOOD NEWS.
IT'S "GOOD DAY, DENVER." >> IT'S 7:00 A.M. IN DENVER ON
THIS BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY. I'M JANET LORADO DIEKMAN
ALONGSIDE ALAN "FUN TIE" OVERBROOK.
>> WHAT? THIS COUNTRY IS A MESS.
I THOUGHT I WOULD HELP BRIGHTEN THINGS UP WITH A FUN TIE.
>> BRIGHT IS RIGHT! WHERE ARE MY RAY-BANS, GEEZ!
>> COME ON! >> LOTS GOING ON THIS MORNING?
BUT FIRST, LET'S CHECK IN WITH OUR FIELD REPORTER, DONNA HEMING
WHO IS AT THE DENVER ZOO WITH DANNY BANGS.
A -- COOL JOB ALERT. PROFESSIONAL ANIMAL
PORNOGRAPHER. >> JANET, ALAN, IT IS A REAL ZOO
HERE. AND FOR ONCE I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT THE I-25. DANNY BANGS HAS BEEN
PHOTOGRAPHING ANIMALS AT THE ZOO FOR OVER TEN YEARS.
NOW, DANNY, HOW IN THE HECK DO YOU GET AN ANIMAL TO SMILE FOR A
PHOTO? >> WELL, I FIND "SAY CHEESE"
JUST MAKES THEM HUNGRY. >> I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
I HAVE BEEN TOLD I MISSPOKE AND REFERRED TO MR. BANGS AS AN
ANIMAL PORNOGRAPHER INSTEAD OF PHOTOGRAPHER.
SO, I'M SORRY. AND I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR
THAT OUR GUEST IS AN ANIMAL PHOTOGRAPHER.
DONNA? >> GOT YOU, JANET.
NOW, DANNY, WHAT IS THE SECRET TO GETTING THAT PERFECT SHOT?
>> WELL, THE KEY IS TO MAKE THE ANIMALS FEEL COMFORTABLE.
I'LL DO ANYTHING WITH THEM TO GET THE SHOT.
PLAY, BE SILLY, EVEN BRIBE THEM WITH TREATS.
>> NOW WHAT IF AN ANIMAL IS IN A BAD MOOD?
I IMAGINE THE LIONS ARE DIVAS. >> NO MATTER THE MOOD, I LOVE MY
JOB. WHEN I GET THE CALL, NO MATTER
WHAT ANIMAL IT IS, I ALWAYS COME RIGHT AWAY.
AND IF AN ANIMAL IS AGITATED, I FIND I CAPTURE VERY REAL ORGANIC
MOMENTS. THERE'S BEAUTY IN AN ANIMAL'S
RAW NATURAL STATE.
>> I'M SORRY, DONNA. JUST JUMPING IN REAL QUICK.
TO LET VIEWERS KNOW THAT OUR GRAPHIC IS INCORRECT, OUR GUEST
IS AN ANIMAL PHOTOGRAPHER. WE ARE GOING TO GET THAT FIXED.
WAKE UP BACK THERE, GUYS. BACK TO YOU, DONNA.
>> THANKS. OH, I SEE A LOT OF TWEETS COMING
IN FROM THE GOOD DAY DENVER LIVE TWEETERS.
YOU'VE GOT SOME FANS, DANNY. >> OOH!
>> @KAREN IN ASPEN SAYS, "WATCHING ON MUTE AT THE GYM.
WHAT THE F IS HAPPENING?" THAT SHE CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE
SUCH A COOL JOB. HOW DID YOU GET STARTED?
>> WELL, I STARTED WITH AMATEUR STUFF AND I WOULD PUT IT ONLINE.
AND "NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC" SAW MY WORK, GAVE ME A JOB AND FROM
THERE, I FOUND MY NEW HOME HERE AT THE DENVER ZOO.
>> WOW! WE HAVE MORE TWEETS HERE.
@ZOO DARK WEB ASKED, "THIS DUDE HAVE ANY HORSE STUFF?"
>> SURE DO. AND IT'S IN ALL MY NEW BOOK, THE
PICTURE IS A LITTLE FUZZY, MY DECADE AT THE DENVER ZOO AND
IT'S VERY EASY TO NAVIGATE. I DID THE ANIMALS ALPHABETICAL.
STARTED ON AN AARDVARK AND FINISHED ON A ZEBRA.
VERY EASY. >> WELL, I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO
BUY THE BOOK. NOW, A BEAUTIFUL CELEBRATION OF
A DECADE'S WORK. NOW, WHAT IS IT LIKE TO WORK
WITH THESE CUTE LITTLE BABY ANIMALS?
>> NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT BABY
ANIMALS, DONNA. >> LET'S KEEP THE INTERVIEW
ABOUT ADULT CONSENTING ANIMALS AND CAN WE PLEASE FIX THE
GRAPHICS? >> WELL, OKAY.
THIS BOOK IS FILLED WITH AMAZING SNAPS, BUT SURELY THERE MUST
HAVE BEEN SOME MISFIRES. >> OH, OF COURSE.
ONCE I TOOK ABOUT 1,000 PICTURES OF THIS FUNNY LITTLE MONKEY AND
I BLEW IT. I GOT HOME.
I REALIZED THERE WAS NO FILM IN THE CAMERA.
IS IT OKAY IF I PLUG MY WEBSITE? >> WE THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO.
>> YES, IT'S WWW.DANNYBANGSANIMALS.COM.
>> PARDON ME? >> OH, DEVON, HI.
THIS IS DEVON. HE WORKS AT THE ZOO.
AND HE'S A GREAT GUY. >> DON'T TOUCH ME.
>> I'M SORRY.
>> I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO READ A STATEMENT FROM THE DENVER ZOO.
THE DENVER ZOO DOES NOT CONDONE ANIMAL PORNOGRAPHY IN ANY FORM.
FURTHERMORE, DANNY BANGS WILL NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO ANIMALS AT
THE ZOO WHILE WE INVESTIGATE THE EXTENT OF HIS CRIMES.
>> DEVON, WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? >> YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT, YOU
MONSTER. >> WELL, IT CERTAINLY IS GETTING
WILD DOWN HERE AT THE DENVER ZOO.
BACK TO YOU IN THE STUDIO. >> ALL RIGHT.
WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK. WHEN WE RETURN, THE WHITE HOUSE
