During the interview, Bugs mocks Elmer Fudd, making Elmer angry. Elmer arrives to confront Bugs, but Bugs tricks him into shooting a carrot instead.
Daffy, jealous of Bugs' fame, mocks Bugs with a rabbit suit. Mistaken for Bugs, Elmer chases Daffy, leading to chaos. Bugs outsmarts Elmer and returns to the interview. Later, Bugs tricks Daffy into fainting on live television to get rid of him.

"Person to Bunny" is available on the Looney Tunes Superstars DVD. However, it was cropped to widescreen. It was also included in the Stars of Space Jam: Daffy Duck DVD, this time in the ratio in which it was originally animated (fullscreen aspect ratio). In 2020 the cartoon was released on Blu-Ray as part of the Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection once again in its correct aspect ratio.
