UPDATE: The Orlando Sun Sentinel reports:
Don’t believe that footage of a wolf in a Sochi hotel.
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel orchestrated a hoax with U.S. Olympic luger Kate Hansen, Inside Edition reports. The syndicated magazine got confirmation of the video foolery from Sandy Caligiore, a publicist for the United States Luge Association.
You can catch Hansen at 11:35 tonight on WFTV-Channel 9. Hansen plans to Skype with the late-night shost, Caligiore said.
God dammit. That video is totally going to keep going and reveal that it was filmed inside ABC studios in LA. Nice shot by Kimmel in what has been Jimmy Fallon’s week.
…
Just another night in Sochi: brown water, shower cameras, wolves* roaming the halls. Hot. Cool. Absolutely terrifying.

*Honestly, it’s probably just a husky. But still.
