‘Tiger King’ star Carole Baskin joins 2020 ‘Dancing With The Stars’ cast

One of the biggest breakout reality show icons of 2020 is headed to Dancing With The Stars. On Wednesday morning, Good Morning America revealed that 59-year-old Carole Baskin, Joe Exotic’s arch-nemesis in Netflix’s must-watch documentary series Tiger King, will bring her unique flair to a cast that also includes former NFL and NBA players.

Even if you haven’t watched Tiger King yet – and you should – you’re probably familiar with Baskin. She’s the extremely polarizing person who became a living meme on social media earlier this year for addressing her followers as “cool cats and kittens,” and also for allegedly feeding her husband to tigers, according to Joe Exotic.

In case you’re wondering what Carole has been up to since the show, she has a daily video series where she recites entries from her old diary.

The 2020 DWTS cast also includes:

  • Monica Aldama
  • Kaitlyn Bristowe
  • Vernon Davis
  • Anne Heche
  • Skai Jackson
  • Justina Machado
  • Jeannie Mai
  • AJ McLean
  • Jesse Metcalfe
  • Nelly
  • Charles Oakley
  • Nev Schulman
  • Chrishell Stause
  • Johnny Weir
