Carole fuckin’ Baskin.
Easily the most hated character on show FULL of people worth hating. Scumbag after scumbag after scumbag and Carole Baskin is still public enemy number one among Tiger King fans. Oh, and there’s this whole “she killed her husband” rumor circulating around the interwebs thanks to the accusations by Joe Exotic.
I’m not saying she did it (we all know how much she likes to sue people) but, you know… wink, wink.
Anyways, Carole has stayed away from the media (for obvious reasons) after the show aired, declining every single interview she’s been asked for. That is, until Jimmy Fallon asked.
Except it wasn’t Jimmy Fallon…
It was two YouTubers from the England.
GOLD.
And you have to give them credit for sticking to the script, not saying anything offensive and having some fun with it. Anytime you’re not getting sued by Carole you’re doing something right. And according to CNN, Carole isn’t even mad.
“I was suspicious as we were doing it because the questions appeared taped. But had no idea it would turn out to be such a fun prank,” Baskin said in statement to CNN. “It gave us a very welcome good laugh. I appreciate their cleverness and that they created their video in a way that I don’t feel was in any way mean spirited.”
A win-win all the way around.
In conclusion, here’s a song about Carole killing her husband.
