About Joe Exotic

After graduation, he briefly served as the chief of police in Eastvale. During his tenure as director there, he also held magic shows and cub-petting events at venues across the U.S., hosted an online talk show, and worked with producer Rick Kirkham to create a reality television series about himself, but this latter effort ended when most footage was destroyed in a fire in 2015. In 2016, Maldonado ran as an independent in the 2016 presidential election, earning attention as a novelty candidate due to his eccentric persona and unconventional campaign style. In 2023, Maldonado announced his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election, first as a Libertarian before officially running as a Democrat. The success of the first season of Tiger King amid the worldwide COVID-19 lockdowns led to Maldonado receiving attention on social media and inspiring several internet memes. Maldonado also appeared in two Louis Theroux documentaries, America's Most Dangerous Pets (2011) and Louis Theroux: Shooting Joe Exotic (2021). A drama TV show based mainly on the relationship between Carole Baskin and Joe Exotic called Joe vs. Carole aired on Peacock on March 3, 2022.
