Long before he entered our lives as the Crocodile Hunter, the wonderful Steve Irwin had a weekly segment on a children’s show in Australia, according to YouTuber TheMaskedGamer. The clip above comes from a 1991 appearance, in which a young Irwin had a snake (and a spectacular mullet) draped over his neck.
The segment grinds to a halt as Irwin realizes he’s been bitten by the snake — to the shock and horror of the show’s host — but it doesn’t end before Irwin sneaks in an apology. Of all the nice things people have said about Steve Irwin, the most emblematic might be that he was the kind of guy who would apologize for getting bit by a snake.
