Zucker is an afficionado of Davy Crockett and collects memorabilia, and has stated that his dream project is to make a biographical film, which he has spent time developing. During the 1990s he regularly hosted a Davy Crockett Rifle Frolic at his ranch in Ojai, California. Zucker wrote 11 updated verses to the song "The Ballad of Davy Crockett", which he claimed in 1992 that he had worked harder on those than on any of his scripts. Zucker made a cameo appearance in "The Naked Gun 2½" dressed as Crockett.
