Question
A comedian was imitating John Wayne speaking about a pink squirrel.  Is there a movie or some reference regarding a "pink squirrel"?  It was the funniest thing I had heard in a while!!

Answer
I don't recall any such reference, and an Internet search for

"john Wayne" squirrel

found nothing. It's POSSIBLE that Wayne parodied his macho image on TV one time with a squirrel (he did parodies LIKE that on _Laugh-In_ more than once) but I'm not aware of any like the one you describe.

Wayne, John

Expertise

I have seen ALMOST every film with an appearance by The Duke, made since 1940, and a few dozen of those before then. If it's a film with him, I've most likely seen it, have an opinion on it, and can try to answer questions about it. I have no usable expertise for films not starring John Wayne.

Experience

I saw my first film in which Wayne stars almost fifty years ago. Since then, I have seen over 120 films where he makes an appearance.
