The Dancing With the Stars Cast 2020 Will Include Tiger King ’s Carole Baskin

The 2020 Dancing With the Stars cast has been revealed, and it includes none other than Tiger King star Carole Baskin. Yes, you read that correctly: The coolest kitten herself is hitting the dance floor next season. 

For those who need a refresher on the insanity that was Netflix's docuseries Tiger King, it centered on zookeeper Joe Exotic, who Baskin, a conservationist, accused of animal exploitation. Joe had a particularly strong vendetta against Baskin and was eventually charged with hiring someone to murder her. (He is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence.) 

Baskin also emerged as a key figure in the series, thanks to her eccentric wardrobe, “cool cats and kittens” catchphrase, and the mystery surrounding her former husband Don Lewis's disappearance. It's no surprise ABC would pick such a buzzy internet figure for its DWTS lineup. She will certainly get people to tune in. 

The internet is already talking about the casting. Below, just some reactions to Baskin joining DWTS:
