it's the Netflix phenomenon that's kept
millions entertained during the lockdown
now let's Trent with some exclusive
footage you haven't seen on Tiger King
Rick Kirkham knows the tiger King better
than just about anyone lalana was very
cruel he's a very cruel and evil person
Kirkham was a key figure in the hit
docu-series but back in the 1990's he
was a reporter here at Inside Edition
well known for his daring exploits he
and I still keep in touch
lass it's great to see you as usual are
you surprised by the impact of the
Netflix series it's just insane I'm in
Oslo Norway and I walk down the street
and people stop their cars and point out
the window going are you tiger Rick
Kirkham says one reaction to the TV show
that's taken him by surprise is that so
many viewers actually feel sorry for Joe
exotic the documentary really portrayed
the fact that he had an evil heart cart
they got wrong was in any way making
making the audience feel sorry for this
land
Joe exotic is now serving 22 years for
plotting to kill animal rights activist
Carol Baskin Kirkham says he's
bewildered by any suggestion of a
presidential pardon which came up last
week at a briefing on the pandemic I'll
take a look is that Joe exotic that's
Joe exciting first of all the reporter
would ask the president about pardoning
Joe exotic and secondly that he would
actually even think about and
considering it's just ludicrous
Kirkham shared with Inside Edition
viewers video not seen in the series
video he shot himself when he was
producing a Joe exotic reality show this
clip shows the volatile Joe exotic
firing a gun inside the zoo's TV studio
Kirkham says he also witnessed something
he will never forget when a woman gave
Joe exotic an older horse to look after
joe said rick rolled the camera come
with me he walked right up and drew his
gun shot the horse in the hand used the
chainsaw to cut it up and fed it to the
tigers the bottom line is joe exotic is
where he will
lawns and that's behind more
