My favorite part happens next. Todd Disotell, who is apparently in charge of New York University’s molecular primatology lab, was brought on as the show’s resident scientist, and he’s in charge of testing all the “evidence” that each team can gather in the course of a nighttime investigation. In the morning, he just went straight down the line telling each team how much they sucked, and that is not an exaggeration. To one team that brought in hair samples: “This is moss. This is not hair.” To another team that brought elk scat to prove there was plenty of sasquatch food in the area: “This isn’t evidence.” To another team that brought in possible bear droppings: “You brought in the wrong part of the scat to get DNA.” This guy wasn’t impressed or interested by a single bit of evidence any of the teams brought to him, which is fitting, given that none of them found anything of value. But how novel a concept is this — an actual scientist on a Bigfoot show? Who could have predicted that?
