YouTuber baits Tiger King\u2019s Carole Baskin with fake \u201cJimmy Fallon\u201d show YouTube: Josh Pieters & Archie MannersYouTuber Josh Pieters managed to trick the one and only Carole Baskin from hit Netflix show Tiger King into participating in an interview on \u201cThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\u201d \u2013 and it went off without a hitch. Carole Baskin has been the subject of enormous internet debate ever since Netflix\u2019s hit documentary Tiger King exploded in popularity. It follows the story of Joe Exotic and his gigantic collection of tigers, and his ongoing feud with the Big Cat Rescue owner over the ethics of keeping the felines in captivity. YouTube prankster Josh Pieters and his sidekick Archie Manners have been known to fool celebrities for videos, and the cats rights activist is their latest victim, baiting the 58-year-old into her first public interview since the TV show aired. YouTubers bait Carole Baskin Obviously getting the real Jimmy Fallon in to interview the \u201cTiger Queen\u201d was impossible, so Josh and his trusty sidekick did the next best thing \u2013 they used his voice from previous show recordings to impersonate him and to trick her into thinking she was really talking to the TV host via Zoom. Carole agreed to the appearance provided that it would strictly be about cats and wouldn\u2019t mention Tiger King or Joe Exotic in any capacity. Archie contacted her by phone to confirm before the call, under the guise of \u201cMatthew\u201d from \u201cInvisible Object\u201d \u2013 the production company they\u2019d told her was working on the show. The American told the prankster that she had a very specific way she wanted to be introduced on air \u2013 the \u201cFounder and CEO of Big Cat Rescue\u201d \u2013 and stated that she was \u201cvery grateful\u201d it wasn\u2019t going to be \u201cthat b**ch Carole Baskin.\u201d (Timestamp 3:43 for mobile viewers.) The day of the interview came, and \u201cMatthew\u201d emailed the TV star a link to the Zoom call. They were afraid she might not show, but she came through to her word and they got her to list off a few types of cats she likes in order to \u201ccheck the sound levels\u201d and explained why she would be able to hear \u201cJimmy Fallon\u201d but not see him \u2013 because he was being filmed on proper cameras in his house. \u201cThank you so much for being on our show. We appreciate it, we love you, how are you?\u201d the host asked by way of a sound clip from a previous episode. \u201cI am doing great!\u201d Carole replied. \u201cI am doing great, my daughter Jamie suggested I do this interview with you, so she says \u201cHi!\u201d and we are working every day with the cats of the sanctuary.\u201d She then revealed how the organization had to let around half of their staff go due to lack of tourism during the current world situation, but said that the animals are fine and well looked after, though she wasn\u2019t sure if they\u2019d \u201cever be able to do tours again.\u201d The pranksters even got the animal rights activist to say her famous phrase \u201cHey, all you cool cats and kittens, it\u2019s Carole at Big Cat Rescue\u201d before showing off some never-before-seen photographs and videos of daily life in the sanctuary. They even convinced her to wear a \u201chaku lei\u201d flower crown on her head \u2013 something she famously wore a lot during Tiger King. They couldn\u2019t resist ending the prank by trolling her once more by asking her to remove her headwear for the last part, before changing their minds and getting her to put it back on again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
