Goodbye Kathie Lee

Goodbye Kathie Lee

Friday, April 5th will be Kathie Lee’s last day hosting The Today Show. I’ve been appearing on the show for eight years, and have done multiple segments with the legend herself. She’s always been so kind, warm, and has always made me feel comfortable on set. Here are some of my favorite moments working with her. I hope you enjoy looking back- Corbin

'TODAY', A-ROD, and an Anteater!

I'm not going to lie; it's definitely been quite a while since my last blog post. I think a lot of it has to do with the simplicity of being able to record a podcast rather than meticulously writing a blog.

If you would have told me I would be educating the Former First Lady, Laura Bush, about African Penguin conservation, I wouldn't have believed you. I'm excited to go more in-depth with this experience, along with several other recent ones.

One of the best parts of my job while working with animals is the unpredictable nature of the game. There’s no telling which animals I’ll be working with in the near future or the ones I’ll unexpectedly run into. A few examples include the walking sharks, money collecting parrots, The Today Show, actor Ken Jeong, and

Birds have grown on me. They used to be my least favorite group of animals, now (over time) they have become one of my favorites. Living in a rural area along the Snake River, I’m surrounded by them 24/7. (As I write this blog, I’m staring straight ahead at the river, counting various river coots,
