Sochi Wolf a Kimmel Hoax

The video posted by Olympic luger Kate Hansen of a wolf in her hotel this week turned out to be another hoax by Jimmy Kimmel.

In a video posted February 19 entitled Epic #SochiFail: Wolf in my hall, we read a description that states, “I’m pretty sure this is a wolf wandering my hall in Sochi.”

Kimmel revealed the prank on his show, stating, “That was not a Russian wolf, that was an American wolf, and I know this because the wolf is back stage right now. We shot the video and Kate Hanson posted it for us on her account and a media frenzy was born.”

The “full” video was also shown, in which Kimmel shows up wearing skis asking, “Have you seen my wolf?”

Kimmel fooled millions back in September with a fake video of a girl catching on fire while twerking.
