Dr. Zaius Performs “Mark Twain Tonight!” as God and Lawgiver Intended
There’s a story being why Dr. Zaius stopped by one of John Hodgman’s live comedy acts to recite part of the famous one-man show “Mark Twain Tonight!” but I assure you, the truth does not particularly improve this video’s awesomeness in any way. Just watch it, and let the glory shine upon you. Suffice to say, Zaius’ performance would’ve brought a tear to even Commander Taylor’s eye, and that night, no one in the audience hated chimpan-“Z”.
