Reclusive Tiger King star Carole Baskin has been tricked into breaking her silence by pranksters who convinced her she was being interviewed by US chat show host Jimmy Fallon.

The cat sanctuary owner, 58, has shunned the spotlight since the release of the hit Netflix show, which focused on her nemesis Joe Exotic and his doomed murder-for-hire plot to kill her.

However, she was persuaded to talk by YouTube star Archie Manners and his prankster pal Josh Pieters, who posed as producers casting guests for The Tonight Show Jimmy Fallon.

The pair told her they worked for a company called Invisible Object setting up guest appearances on talk shows from home during the coronavirus outbreak.

Carole Baskin Got Pranked By a Fake Jimmy Fallon and Was Surprisingly Cool With It

Make sure to verify your sources, all you cool cats and kittens. That's probably what Carole Baskin, one of the subjects of Netflix's hit docuseries Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness, is probably saying to herself in the mirror today. Baskin has remained largely off the grid since Tiger King took over the internet, but the offer to be interviewed by Jimmy Fallon was apparently enough of a draw to pull her into the media frenzy she's largely been avoiding. Which is all well and good, except "Jimmy Fallon" turned out to be two YouTubers, and the whole thing ended up being revealed as a pretty elaborate prank.
