Ultimately, the duo was in a position to con their method into an interview with Tucker himself … one they secretly recorded. Watch … it looks as if Tucker and Archie the imposter had a wide-ranging dialog about the photograph — a chat that clearly received TC tremendous excited.
Tucker’s individuals apparently advised Pieters and his compatriot the interview would air subsequent week … although it appears the Goon Squad allow them to off the hook ‘trigger they posted the video clearing the air Thursday.
FWIW … sources with direct data inform us Tucker’s group wasn’t completely satisfied the story was actual to start with, however determined to tape the interview anyway whereas persevering with to look into the story.
We’re advised inside an hour of ending taking pictures, somebody acknowledged Archie as a well-known prankster, and so they knew they weren’t going to run the interview. It’s a lesson in journalism — however massive image, ya cannot knock the group for no less than speaking to somebody making this declare.
Still, it appears they could have had the wool pulled over his eyes, if just for a little bit bit … and, frankly … it may’ve occurred to anybody within the biz. Good catch … (nearly) good prank.
