F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton was devastated. He was. The 13th lap of the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal on Sunday. He hit a groundhog.

[John]

Oh. Ah. What's it doing out there?

[Entertainment Host]

Somehow it got out on the track and he hit it. He's. He's devastated. After hitting the groundhog during the race.

[John]

I thought he was going to say Toledo and his family had marched out there to protest trump in the G7.

[Entertainment Host]

The groundhog did damage the car and their Obama phones.

[John]

We're never gonna end it. All the emails are so funny attacking Toledo that I can't help it. The derangements working both ways.

[Entertainment Host]

Here's a rundown of some celebrities with weird pets. Kristen Stewart. She grew up raising wolf hybrids.

[John]

Wow. She bought into the dream of the movie a little too much, didn't she?

[Entertainment Host]

Kirsty Alley. Before she died she owned 14 lemurs.

[John]

Do we have to include before she died? Isn't it assumed she owned no lemurs after her death.

[Entertainment Host]

That's a good point.

[John]

After she died, she picked up three or four lemurs on the way to the morgue.

[Entertainment Host]

Paris Hilton. She had a kinkajou hey, hey, hey, hey. Named Baby Love.

[John]

That's it. Right.

[Entertainment Host]

2006. She had to get a tetanus shot after it. Bitter.

[John]

You're canceled.

[Entertainment Host]

Ice T had a shark tank in his home home recording studio. It's gone now.

[John]

Yeah. I would be disappointed if I went to ice Tea's house.

[Co-host]

Come on downstairs, Brett. Let's take a look.

[John]

Was it ice cube or iced tea?

[Entertainment Host]

Iced tea.

[Co-host]

That's right. It was tea. That was me. I got confused for a second. Come downstairs, Brett. I'm going to show you my shark tank.

[John]

Frank Caliendo bought a house that we filmed a couple of things in there. And it had a basement. And in the basement the whole wall was glass. And I'm like, what?

[Entertainment Host]

Shark tanks?

[John]

It was. Yeah, it was a double shark. 400 gallon humongous tanks for sharks. And I'm like, why aren't you doing this, Tracy Morgan? Michelle wouldn't let him.

[Entertainment Host]

What? It was all marble, the whole bar and everything.

[John]

And it was ugly, but mainly ugly.

[Brett]

Ugly but cool.

[John]

Sharks in it. If you had a shark in it, immediately makes that room cool. It's amazing.

[Entertainment Host]

Tracy Morgan spent 400 grand on a 2700 gallon tank for his Pacific octopus.

[John]

Is that why he's in that documentary? He's in the documentary about octopuses.

[Entertainment Host]

Is he? Yeah, must be. Nicholas Cage owned sharks. An octopus, a five foot monitor lizard, two venomous albino king cobras named Moby and Sheba. And locked behind a bulletproof glass. The snakes were kept in that aquarium. Was he also kept amped anti venom handy?

[John]

He was worried about somebody shooting them?

[Entertainment Host]

No, that the snakes would break the glass. I guess because they're striking bullets. You wanted the glass thick enough.

[John]

Are snakes faster and stronger? Seems excessive.

[Entertainment Host]

But he did say if they bit me, I have 15 minutes to live.

[John]

That's why I keep it bullet and don't have them. That's exactly right. Look, baby girl, I have snakes in there. And if I tried to shoot them, I couldn't. They're protected behind bulletproof glass.

[Entertainment Host]

For all the assassinations in Vanilla Ice.

[John]

Also in this in the tank, Brett. The constitution of the United States of America.

[Entertainment Host]

Vanilla Ice once owned a wallaroo. It's a combo.

[John]

He had to sell that.

[Entertainment Host]

A wallaby and a kangaroo. He didn't have to sell it.

[Co-host]

He.

[Entertainment Host]

But he did leave it at A.

[John]

Farm after the bankruptcy in Florida. Now though. He's got money now. Yeah.

[Entertainment Host]

Yeah. It got too big for his property.

[John]

For a while there. He was in trouble. Yeah.

[Entertainment Host]

And there was a Pedro Pascal look alike contest held in New York City on Sunday, hosted by a Mexican restaurant called Sunday Nor North.
