We will probably include them in our upcoming "How Did America Not Know They Were Gay" series, but for now all we have to report is that Las Vegas wonder twins and occasional tiger bait Siegfried and Roy are planning a one-time comeback show, part of a fundraiser for the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute. And yes, it will include the tiger, Montecore, who mauled Roy. The two performers have stuck to their (possibly moronic) belief that Montecore was not simply acting like a normal tiger lashing out against her keeper, but in fact sensed that Roy was having a mini-stroke and was dragging him offstage to safety.
We're glad Roy has recuperated and will soon return to bottoming for performing with his loyal partner Siegfried, and we're sure the elderly of the greater Las Vegas region are practically crapping themselves at the possibility of seeing the pair alive and well again doing their tiger and pony show at the Mirage. But seriously-and we don't want to go out on a limb here-do they really have to use the same tiger? We don't want to live in a world where, like poor Roger Ebert, Siegfried has to fill Roy's deceased shoes with some other name that doesn't roll of the tongue quite so nicely. "Siegfried and Mark" anyone? "Siegfried and Rick"?
