Tricksters Josh Pieters and Archie Manners posed as late night talent bookers and reached out to Baskin to set up a Zoom interview with Fallon, subsequently compiling an audio soundboard of Jimmy’s questions to previous Tonight Showguests, specifically queries about cats. Explaining away the visual absence of Jimmy as just a necessary quirk of filming while in coronavirus quarantine, the pair fooled the big cat zookeeper into believing she was, in fact, speaking to Fallon.
The result? Well, Carole Baskin basically just discusses the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on her volunteer staff, asks viewers to support the Big Cat Public Safety Act, and reminds people to never pay money to pet a tiger or lion cub.
