He's the man who unwittingly saved
America during the Coronavirus outbreak of
2020.
The show Tiger King, which was about him and his exotic animal zoo in Oklahoma, aired on Netflix at the same time everyone was quarantined with COVID-19.
The show depicts the only thing more batshit crazy in
America than the outbreak itself, thus giving Americans a sense of hope and normalcy.
As such, it became the main source of entertainment for many, and a major subject of social media discussions during the shutdown.
