David Spade chats Tiger King dream casting for movie version and reveals if he'd play Joe Exotic
Comedian David Spade discussed the possibility of himself playing Tiger King star Joe 'Exotic' Maldonado-Passage in a movie version of Netflix's No. 1 hit docu-series, which will air a bonus episode this Sunday.
'I don't know. It depends. There's [my talk] show and there's getting time off and all that,' the 55-year-old sarcastic stand-up said on Thursday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
'Joe Exotic said me or Brad Pitt. I see Brad Pitt at auditions all the time and it's always tense...But I think Joe is a little too squirrely for Brad that might be wishful thinking because Brad is so studly.'

Spade was recommended by the 57-year-old former roadside zookeeper due to the blond-mulleted janitor he portrayed in the 2001 redneck comedy Joe Dirt and its 2015 straight-to-video sequel Joe Dirt: Beautiful Loser.
But Edward Norton, Dax Shepard, and Kevin Bacon have all expressed interest in taking on the part of the gun-toting openly gay polygamist - who's serving a 22-year prison sentence for a murder-for-hire plot among other crimes.
SNL actress Kate McKinnon signed on to produce and star as Joe's nemesis Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin in UCP's upcoming small-screen adaptation of Robert Moor's Wondery podcast, Over My Dead Body - according to Deadline.
And six-time Golden Globe nominee Rob Lowe just reteamed with his 9-1-1: Lone Star creator Ryan Murphy to 'develop our version of this insane story.'

David has interviewed Tiger King's John Finlay, Rick Kirkham, Jeff Lowe, and Kelci 'Saff' Saffery remotely from the Beverly Hills bunker of his Comedy Central talk show Lights Out.
The four-time Emmy nominee acknowledged animal lovers are horrified at directing duo Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin's 'dark and rough' series, but he said 'as a character study it's fun to watch.'
'I thought it's just a funny idea because it's more fun to think what the casting would be just for something to do,' Spade noted.

The SNL veteran (1988-1996) suggested Woody Harrelson play the part of Jeff Lowe, the man who replaced Maldonado-Passage as the owner and director of GW Exotic Animal Park in Oklahoma.
Joe's ex-husband John Finlay told People on Saturday that he wanted either Channing Tatum or Shia LaBeouf to play him in a movie version.
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump even told a New York Post reporter he'd 'look into' possibly pardoning Joe, who ran for President in 2016 and Oklahoma Governor in 2018.
