I ever had were going on safari in Kenya,

visiting the mountain gorillas in Rwanda,

and the third was interviewing Ryan Gosling.

I wanted to bring the safari experience to Hollywood,

so I set up the first ever Los Angeles wildlife safari.

I rigged a tour van with hidden cameras.

I had my writer, Adam, act as a tour guide.

He picked up unsuspecting tourists on Hollywood Boulevard

at night, and told them they were

going to go look for coyotes, mountain lions, and bobcats.

And, I mean, we have Adam do a lot of things,

but this is probably one of my favorite things

that he's ever done.

I was literally crying laughing in my office this morning.

Here's what happened.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Welcome, you guys.

I'm Adam.

I'll be your guide.

This is the inaugural tour of our LA Wildlife Safari.

Here in LA, we have everything from small rodents and birds,

up to large predators like bears and mountain lions, bobcats

and coyotes.

So what animals are you guys hoping to see here tonight?

Cougars!

Cougars.

Looks like there might be some movement.

There might be movement up there.

I thought this was a coyote at first.

This is a person.

We'll go by slowly so we don't scare them.

It looks like an iPhone in his hand.

Yeah, it is an iPhone.

All right, now, we will be getting out here.

You can bring your belongings with you

or leave them on the van.

Here's a flashlight.

Yeah, make sure you guys get a flashlight.

It is dark here.

So this is called Sherman Oaks Van Nuys Park.

In this environment, there's three unique ecosystems.

So there's a temperate forest here, where you see the trees.

And then we also have fitness equipment and a baseball

diamond.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

No, there's nothing.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Here's a moth.

Here, do you look at it through the binoculars.

Yeah.

It's right up there by the light.

Oh, jeez.

That's really bright.

Is it OK if we get some pictures with your dog?

He's not friendly sometimes.

He's not friendly.

All right, everyone stay back.

Stay back.

He's not friendly.

Sir, with the video camera, back.

There are celebrities that live in the Valley.

George Clooney actually lives in the Valley,

and there are celebrity animals around, also.

I once saw a dog back at Aroma Cafe, walking up front there,

I saw a dog that was on an episode of Frasier.

Yeah.

Yeah, right in here.

Yeah.

We can get out of the car here.

And we'll walk to our next location.

Can I stay?

Yeah, you're welcome to stay on the van.

We won't be long here.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Shh.

So we have a pigeon here.

This one appears to be an alpha male.

So you don't want to look directly at it.

They do get aggressive when you're

kind of near their home nest.

But these are California pigeons.

So these are pretty much genetically

identical to the pigeons that you would have anywhere else.

Does anybody want to get a picture?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Is this his first time to do this?

Quite honestly, I don't think I'd pay $35 for this.

No.

Here you can see there is a nest with three pigeons in it.

There's two females down here, and then the alpha male

is up there, the silverback.

So they've actually built their nest right

into those wires that are put there to keep the pigeons away.

It's like in Jurassic Park when they say "life finds a way,"

so these pigeons have found a way.

And then down here, you can see the droppings.

Where'd he take them?

You do know this guy, right?

Cockroach.

Cockroach!

It appears to be an alpha male.

There it goes.

Let's see where it's going.

We'll just follow it for a little bit.

You think they're OK?

I'm getting worried about them.

I mean, I don't even see them at all.

Let's see-- this is right along the highway,

this sort of pristine area.

I see flashlights coming.

All right, we're back.

Hopefully, you were able to bond with Doug while we were gone.

We're going to try to see some raccoons here.

Oh, [BLEEP].

Here you go.

I've seen the raccoons here myself.

There's a family that comes through.

There's two small ones and then a large one, the alpha male.

So we'll just set up here in this area by this dumpster

here.

It smells.

It smells?

That's what attracts them in, though, actually.

The smell goes back down that alley

and through the bushes here where they live, so yeah.

I don't see them around yet, so we're all just

going to be quiet for a little bit.

We'll see if they show up, and just

try to keep the conversation to the minimum.

[CLEARING THROAT]

I'll try to lure them out a little bit.

So I'm not actually a tour guide.

You guys watch The Ellen DeGeneres Show?

(ALL) Yes.

So he's taping for the Ellen DeGeneres show.

Oh, my god, guys!

And there's hidden cameras on the tour bus, also.

So you guys have all been on the first and last LA Wildlife

Safari.

Thank you guys for being good sports.

You guys all want to wave to Ellen!

Ellen, you're so cool!

Ellen!

I mean, they sat in chairs around a dumpster

on the street.

Oh, Adam, thank you.

And thanks to the tourists for putting up with all of that.

We'll be right back.

Hi, I'm Andy.

Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel,

so you can see more awesome videos.

Like videos of me getting scared or saying embarrassing things,

like "ball peen hammer," and also

some videos of Ellen and other celebrities,

if you're into that sort of thing.

[SCREAMING]

Oh, [BLEEP]!

God [BLEEP]!
