Read full article: The โTiger Kingโ reunion special is out and itโs as bonkers as youโd hopeItโs the moment weโve all been waiting for: the rumored โTiger Kingโ reunion episode has officially dropped, and itโs just as wacky and bonkers as youโd hope it would be.

It also seems that everyone in the cast has moved on from Exotic and thinks that he is a terrible human being. McCale also asked the cast members what celebrity theyโd want to play them in a movie version of โTiger King,โ and it was pretty funny to hear their answers. Hop on Netflix and soak in every minute of the bonus episode of โTiger King.โ

Since we have McKinnon cast, the next obvious question is what actors should play the other colorful characters from โTiger King,โ such as Exotic or Doc Antle. Matthew McConaughey comes to mind, especially if youโve seen him in โDallas Buyers Club.โDanny McBride, who is known for playing trashy characters, would also nail Exotic. As for who should play Antle, who is equally as zany as Exotic, heโd have to be played by Will Ferrell.
