After spending a month in quarantine, you’ve either fallen into the Tiger King trap or you’re still on the edge about going through the now eight-episode saga involving Joe Exotic, his harem of husbands, Carole Baskin, Jeff Lowe, and a bunch of big cats. If you have subjected yourself to the Netflix docu-series, you know just how badly Exotic wanted to be famous. Thanks to Netflix, he has succeeded. His fame may reach a whole new platform soon because the eccentric gay cowboy is reportedly in talks to host his own radio show from prison.

Joe Exotic’s husband Dillon Passage, who is shown in later episodes of the show, has confirmed that the Tiger King is currently communicating with one station who appears willing to give him his own radio show from behind bars.

“This radio station here in the US wants him to have his own radio show from inside the prison,” said Passage to Metro UK. “It’s kind of mind-blowing.”

Without offering up any details about the show or its legitimacy, we cannot confirm where it would stream at this time.

Joe Exotic is the eccentric star of Netflix’s latest hit true-crime documentary series, “Tiger King.” People have been going absolutely crazy for this show and it is easy to see why. If you want to feel better about your own life and misfortunes, “Tiger King” is certainly must-watch television. 

Over the past few weeks, the stars of the show have been interviewed for various outlets. In fact, an after-show is being planned for this Sunday. One of the cast members that has been making themselves available to the media is none other than Joe’s husband, Dillon Passage. While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Passage revealed which scene would upset Joe the most. Unsurprisingly, it is the footage of the accidental suicide of Joe’s deceased husband, Travis.

“I feel like some things shouldn’t have been shown in the docuseries, like Travis’ accident in the office,” Passage said. “I feel like that was very personal to Joe and that it was used for an emotional purpose and to get people more drawn in to the show,” he added. “I don’t think that’s fair to Travis. He probably would not have wanted that put all over the world. … And I didn’t tell [Joe] that it was in there. I feel like he’s definitely gonna be upset about it, so it’s best that he doesn’t know.” 

When Exotic finally sits down to watch the docuseries, he will certainly be met with tons of surprises and it will be interesting to see how he feels about it all. The docuseries isn’t exactly flattering.

The currently incarcerated star of Tiger King, Joe Exotic, has been placed in isolation behind bars after cases of coronavirus were reported at his previous prison facility, according to his husband, Dillon Passage. Following the immense success of the Netflix docu-series, Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness, which explores Exotic’s life in the big cat conservatory world prior to his incarceration, Passage, a 24-year-old bartender and the “tiger king”‘s fourth husband, was interviewed over the phone by Andy Cohen for his SiriusXM series, Andy Cohen Live. While Passage doesn’t explicitly state whether his husband has tested positive for coronavirus or not, he reveals that the prison where he’s being held has “put him on COVID-19 isolation” because in “the previous jail he was at, there were cases” of coronavirus.

Passage also discusses his husband’s reaction to the show, noting that while Exotic hasn’t been able to watch the series due to his current circumstances, he is “ecstatic” about its success. Passage revealed that “once this show dropped, [Exotic] was getting hundreds and hundreds of emails to his jail mail.” He also explained that the show was initially “supposed to be about the big cat underworld, but then Joe got arrested and it completely changed the whole dynamic.” Exotic is currently serving a 22 year sentence for attempted murder-for-hire and animal abuse; however, Passage insists he has “no intention of leaving” his husband. “I’m not just gonna dip out and abandon him when he needs me most.” Catch the full interview below:
