Our national Exotic addiction continues as we watch the TMZ Tiger King special tonight. Yes, since everyone is bingeing and talking about Tiger King on Netflix, we're all ready for the inside scoop on Joe Exotic, with TMZ's Tiger King special tonight.

TMZ Investigates: Tiger King — What Really Went Down? seeks to go behind the scenes and dig deeper into all the questions raised by Netflix's hit docu-series, which follows wildcat collector Joe Exotic. 

TMZ Tiger King special start time, channel

TMZ Investigates: Tiger King — What Really Went Down? starts tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern on Fox.

The former Oklahoma zoo owner (and one-time presidential candidate) is currently serving 22 years in federal prison on charges of animal abuse and attempting to hire a hitman to murder his nemesis, Carole Baskin, an animal rights activist and CEO of Big Cat Rescue. For years, Exotic alleged in numerous video blogs that Baskin murdered her first husband, Don Lewis.

According to Nielsen, Tiger King was Netflix's biggest hit since Stranger Things. The ratings service said that the docu-series was watched by 34.3 million unique viewers in the first 10 days of its release, more than Stranger Things season 2 and close to season 3. Netflix has not released its own internal streaming numbers for Tiger King.

The seven-episode documentary followed Joe Exotic (real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage) and his outrageous exploits at the Oklahoma zoo where he kept multiple tigers, lions and other exotic animals. Tiger King also featured interviews with zoo employees, Exotic's campaign manager, his business partner-turned-owner Jeff Lowe and Baskin. Netflix also released a Tiger King reunion special on April 12.

TMZ's Tiger King special will be hosted by TMZ founder Harvey Levin. Watch Fox's promo below:
