Plot
Stinky the Skunk and Jake the Polar Bear host a talk show where they interview two different species of animals per show. There are some episodes where only one animal is interviewed. The interviewees talk about themselves, as video clips are played of real animals of the same species.

Characters

 * Stinky the Skunk (performed by Dave Goelz) - The host of the show. He always asks the ridiculous questions.


 * Jake the Polar Bear (performed by Steve Whitmire) - The co-host of the show. He always asks the clever questions.
 * Armstrong the Chickenhawk (performed by Bill Barretta) - Armstrong is the show's expert on birds. He was paired up with Ollie the Tapir in Season One and paired up with Bunnie the Bear in Season Two and Three. Armstrong is usually the straight man/victim in these team-ups.
 * Ollie the Tapir (performed by Karen Prell) - An enthusiastic, nasal-voiced tapir who was paired up with Armstrong in Season One. She would also be the one who would bring any animal guest that required assistance (mostly the insect ones). Ollie was dropped at the end of Season One.
