Since Netflix released their hit docu-series Tiger King, Carole Baskin has refused to do any interviews. The owner of Big Cat Rescue is sore after having been accused of killing her second husband and feeding him to her tigers, and she isn't interested in talking to anyone on TV about it. However, two pranksters were able to trick Baskin into giving them her first interview since Tiger King came out, and they did it by making her think she was talking to Jimmy Fallon.
In a video on YouTube, Josh Pieters and Archie Manners explain how they posed as producers of The Tonight Show and reached out to Baskin. They were at first shot down, but that didn't stop Pieters and Manners. They again wrote to Carole, assuring her and her husband/lawyer, Howard, that they would only talk about her cats, not anything to do with the Netflix show. The pranksters were again denied, but then Carole changed her mind, and before long she was talking to "Jimmy."
By just using some clips from previous episodes of The Tonight Show, the pranksters were able to conduct an entire interview with Carole. They didn't get anything too juicy out of her, but the footage is pretty fun to watch for any Tiger King fan. No word on how Carole feels about been conned.
