Letterman had Jack Hanna on as a guest with some neat critters but the last animal was a monacled cobra. Jack's buddy, Bob Clark, brought out the cobra in a wicker basket and Jack handed Letterman a flute. Jack was acting like they were going to charm this cobra with the flutes and made the statement that the cobras just follow the movement of the flute. They uncovered the basket and that cobra had no interest in those flutes at all. Things got a little chaotic pretty quickly and Bob Clark had a lot of trouble keeping that cobra under control. Eventually Bob was just trying to get the snake back into the basket but that snake was not cooperating! Bob ended up removing it from the set in a hurry by using a hook and tailing it. It seemed like a really tense moment for Letterman and Jack Hanna, and Bob just looked a bit incompetent.
