Watch Tracy Morgan take Jimmy Kimmel on a very Tracy Morgan tour of the Bronx Zoo
Just so you don't have to google it, no, Tracy Morgan did not buy the Bronx Zoo. If he had, however — as he pretended to on Tuesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live, the animals would eat burgers and lasagna and be in terrible shape. Also, the breeding program would entail mostly red wine and Marvin Gaye. Or at least that's the picture Morgan painted when he gave a tour of the zoo to Jimmy Kimmel and Guillermo, who are taping in Brooklyn this week. Morgan's Bronx Zoo — and no, he's not in character as Brian Fellow — is full of his friends and Craigslist lions, however, and since you get both a running commentary from Morgan and a chance to gawk at the magnificent animals (some of whom, it should be noted, are copulating), willingly suspend your disbelief for a moment and watch below.
