Armani Picks Candidates, Super Bowl Winner

The Montgomery County capuchin monkey appeared on Talk Radio 3WT Tuesday morning.

Clutching on to owner, Elyse Gazewitz, and a stuffed dog, the world of radio initially scared Armani.

But then Armani, dressed in a 101 Dalmatians jumpsuit, warmed up.

In studio, Armani selected Mike Huckabee to be the Republican nominee and Hillary Clinton to be the Democratic nominee.

And, to win the General Election, there was no monkeying around. He picked Clinton to win.

When it comes to the Super Bowl, Armani is not a New York fan.

Call your bookie. Armani picked the Patriots to win.

While on the air, Armani nibbled on grapes and marshmallows. The marshmallows clearly were the capuchin's preferred treat.

Animal fan and 3WT host David Burd showed no fear of the little guy, immediately wanting to touch him.

Burd admits he felt like a monkey's uncle.

"It's the first time I've monkeyed around," he adds.

Before Armani left, the monkey shook Burd's hand and leaned over and grabbed his hair.

After going on the air, Armani did get to meet one of his favorite celebrities, Tony Kornheiser.

The monkey apparently is a fan of Kornheiser. He freaks out when he sees him on TV. (We've heard some people do that, too.)

After the two stared each other down for a couple of moments, Kornheiser did warm up and let Armani touch him.
