Now, it has been revealed that the comedian used the settlement money he received after his accident to buy the Bronx Zoo, or so Jimmy Kimmel joked on Tuesday night’s episode of _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ Kimmel and Guillermo met up with Morgan at his newly acquired wildlife park, where they were treated to a tour chock full of insider information about the animals. The late night host and his sidekick learned that the seals love to eat White Castle, the gorillas won’t pay you back and the lions were purchased on Craigslist. Morgan even taught his guests the important difference between bison and buffalo. “They don’t make bison spicy hot wings, they make buffalo hot wings,” Morgan said.
