Joe Exotic is in talks to get a new radio show — that would be broadcast from behind bars, his husband claimed this week.
“This radio station here in the US wants him to have his own radio show from inside the prison,” the “Tiger King” star’s husband, Dillon Passage, told Metro UK.
“It’s kind of mind-blowing,” he said, giving no further details at what station was involved or what stage the talks had reached.
Exotic — real name Joe Maldonado-Passage — is serving a 22-year prison sentence for orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot targeting animal rights activist Carole Baskin.
The flamboyant 57-year-old zookeeper recently sparked a health scare after it emerged he’d been transferred to a medical center in Texas after his Oklahoma had an outbreak of the coronavirus.
But his 24-year-old husband reassured fans, “His test results did come back negative for the virus.”
Still, the move has left the lovebirds barely able to talk to each other, compared to chatting up to five times a day before the health scare.
“I’ve only been able to speak with him two times in the last two-and-a-half weeks,” Passage told Metro.
“He wishes he could talk more. He doesn’t really get phone call privileges mainly because he’s still in isolation for the coronavirus stuff.”
Exotic is eager to get the new show to embrace the fame gained from the amazing success of “Tiger King,” the Netflix reality hit about him
“I know he absolutely loves the attention. He’s got a load of really good feedback, a lot of letters, a lot of emails,” Passage told the outlet.
It has even reached President Trump, who told a reporter from The Post at a White House briefing that he would “take a look” at pleas for a pardon.
