Rejoice: Kate McKinnon will play Carole Baskin in TV show, reports say
Variety reports that there is a limited series being made about the big cat lovers, which is based off a podcast called โJoe Exotic," and it will star โSNLโs" Kate McKinnon as Baskin herself. McKinnon signed up to play Baskin in the fall, long before the masses knew anything of the epic feud between Exotic and Baskin, according to the report. Since we have McKinnon cast, the next obvious question is what actors should play the other colorful characters from โTiger King,โ such as Exotic or Doc Antle. Matthew McConaughey comes to mind, especially if youโve seen him in โDallas Buyers Club.โDanny McBride, who is known for playing trashy characters, would also nail Exotic. As for who should play Antle, who is equally as zany as Exotic, heโd have to be played by Will Ferrell.
