While Tiger King mania seems to have died down a bit since its March release, people have been dying to snag an interview with the show's oft-maligned "villain," Carole Baskin. The controversial character (and nemesis of Joe Exotic) resents the way the Netflix documentary seems to insinuate that she murdered her ex-husband and fed him to her big cats. She's been largely silent in the media - until comedian pranksters Josh Pieters and Archie Manners managed to convince her that Jimmy Fallon wanted to do an interview with absolutely no mention of Tiger King. Using recordings from previous Fallon interviews, the duo managed to conduct the interview without a hitch. And it's pretty glorious.

Pretty much everyone and their mom has seen Netflix's Tiger King at this point. Lord knows we've covered a lot of Joe Exotic-related memes. But for those of you who didn't know, before the show there was actually a podcast that some consider to be superior to the mini-series. The podcast was created and researched by Robert Moor, and after the show was released he started a Twitter thread that revealed tons of dirty details we didn't get in the docuseries. We've included the tweets here, but you can get more information on the thread. Prepare to be disturbed.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out what's popping off in the binge-watching sector of the internet. Since Netflix dropped their documentary miniseries Tiger King on March 20th, it's all anyone can talk about. Especially on Twitter. Turns out a flashy and pierced gay man with a fondness for tigers and a bitter feud beats all the crappy stuff going on in the world.
A staggering number of people are currently in lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak, so it only makes sense that binge-watching would be at an all-time high. Luckily for the bored, Netflix dropped their documentary mini-series Tiger King as much of the world was forced to plant themselves on their couches. The zany show, which is filled with twists, turns, and unconventional characters, has become one of the most talked-about programs of the last few months. And the memes are unstoppable.
It's often said that good things come in small packages. That's definitely true for tweets. You've got to respect anyone who can make a clever quip in just 280 characters or less. These fresh tweets fall into this category, and they tackle everything from Covid-19 to that Tiger King show everyone is freaking out about. Here's to keeping ourselves entertained during these crazy times.
