It’s True! ‘Tiger King’s’ Carole Baskin IS Joining Dancing With The Stars

Hey, all you cool cats and kittens, Carole Baskin is ready to take a spin on the dance floor!

America loved to mock her after we saw her on the wild Netflix docuseries Tiger King, she has been accused of killer her former husband, getting his millions, and opening ‘Big Cat Rescue” (they have re-opened investigations into his death,) and now she is taking her chances on the dancefloor for Season 29 of Dancing With The Stars!

I can almost hear Joe Exotic’s head exploding from his prison cell.

If you remember, Carole rose to fame as a central figure in the popular Netflix docuseries Tiger King, which among other things, chronicled her feud with zoo owner Joe Exotic, who was convicted of attempting to hire a hitman to kill her, and is now spending time in prison.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t think I was going to tune in this season after they fired longtime host Tom Bergeron and hired Tyra Banks (no offense to Tyra, but I was hurt for Tom), but this cast might be what they need to get me hooked.

Here is the big cast list Announcement…

While Carole is probably the most surprising and eyebrow raising member of the new season of Dancing With The Stars, I’d say the random mish-mosh of celebrities is weird enough to get most of us to at least tune in and check it out when it premiers Monday, September 4th. Once you tune in, will you keep watching…that is the real question.

Here is the full list of celebrity contestants and dancers.
