Watch Tracy Morgan Give Jimmy Kimmel A Guided Tour Of The Bronx Zoo + Explain His Giraffe Romance Plans

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Now that Tracy Morgan seems to be back in full comedic force, it seems we can expect a steady supply of hilarious new material on the regular. What at time to be alive!

After triumphantly returning to Saturday Night Live as a host last weekend, Morgan announced a new batch of stand-up tour dates. But that's not all—earlier this week the comedian treated late night host Jimmy Kimmel to a guided tour of New York City's Bronx Zoo, taking him on a nature trek that proved more hilarious and...educational than anyone could have expected.

Leading Kimmel and his announcer Guillermo from pen to pen, Morgan explained that he actually is the Zoo's new owner, and that he's about to begin running the wildest damn wildlife refuge around. "I just bought the whole thing...except for that rock," Tracy tells them as they bump into each other near the seal pool. Later we learn that, now that he's in charge, the gorillas will be eating lasagna and all the animals will be given Marvin Gaye soundtracks. For breeding purposes, of course. Basically, Morgan acted out the plot of We Bought A Zoo.

Watch the hilarious clip below.
