Chole Fineman played the role of Carole Baskin in the parody. Chloe sported a long blonde frizzy wig, a hot pink dress, and a leopard-print jacket. The SNL star left no stone unturned to play the character. During her Masterclass session, "Carole Baskin" taught her “students” how to ride a bike.

Chloe Fineman also sang a song for this parody that featured lyrics like, “Hey all you cool cats and kittens, come bike with me!” Furthermore, it had lyrics like, “where are all the kitties? Good thing I’m not covered in sardine oil”. This sardine oil lyric was big reference to the claim that Carole Baskin murdered her second husband. Catch a glimpse of this Tiger King parody here.
