Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Late Night, Talk Shows, Cable, Cable/Satellite,
To kick off her U.S. showbiz career, Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, has a whirlwind tour ahead of her. Pretty lofty for an 8-year-old who recently lost her dad in a freak accident that occurred during filming of a documentary. These appearances will promote her 26-part Bindi, the Jungle Girl series set to debut on Discovery Kids this year. To begin, Bindi will speak at the National Press Club in Washington. She will also do interviews on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Late Show with David Letterman. She will also perform with The Wiggles at concerts in Los Angeles and New York. Discovery senior vice-president Annie Howell told Australian media that Bindi will “be welcomed with open arms and rightly so. She’s a very special child.” Steve Irwin passed away in September, after a stingray barb pierced his heart. His documentary, “Ocean’s Deadliest” will air at some point during Bindi’s U.S. tour.

Following Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s death, his daughter Bindi Irwin will be carrying the wildlife torch. Bindi, The Jungle Girl is a 26-part documentary for Discovery Kids that is currently being filmed. The series is set to begin in January 2007. 8-year-old Bindi says of the documentary, “I’m trying to get across the message that don’t be afraid of animals, they’re just put on this earth to help the environment and everything like that.” Steve Irwin will also have a presence in the show—he filmed some scenes prior to his death. Bindi and dad are animated in the opening credits, with a theme song that says “The Croc Hunter taught her/and now his only daughter/is Bindi the Jungle Girl.” Bindi was praised for her brave tribute to her father during the September 20th memorial service and her appearance at the recent Nickelodeon Australian Kids’ Choice Awards.

In what has turned out to be sad and shocking news, the man known as The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, was killed while filming an underwater documentary. While swimming in Batt Reef in north Queensland, Irwin was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest (although, one doctor thinks he may have suffered from a form of cardiac arrest, as this type of stingray injury is extremely rare.) Steve Irwin was 44, and is survived by his wife Terri, and children Bob and Bindi.
