More from the TCA tour

From the Buffalo News:

• The Amanpour session was followed by a depressing CNN session about an upcoming series, “Planet in Peril.” But there was a moment of comic relief when anchor Anderson Cooper was asked how valuable wildlife biologist Jeff Corwin of the Discovery Channel was on the series.

“In the Amazon, we were repeatedly bitten by things, and Jeff could sort of identify them and tell us whether or not it was severe or not,” said Cooper. “One of our cameramen was actually hospitalized after being bitten by a spider. The other one had a spider lay eggs inside him. So it’s comforting when you have something growing in you to have someone like Jeff there.”
