Fyre Festival’s Andy King May Get His Own Television Show
Andy King, Fyre Festival event producer and star of the fiasco’s wildest, dick-suckingest story, may be getting his own television show.
In an interview with Vanity Fair this weekend, King spoke about his decision to share the now infamous dick-sucking story with the makers of Netflix documentary Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened. If you haven’t heard the story, please go and watch the documentary on Netflix so you may experience the retelling in its purest form. If you have heard the story, how messed up was that?
“I told it to explain just how crazy it was down there,” said King. “I am a very conservative New Englander.”
that fyre fest guy offered to suck dick once and is famous now, i offer to suck dick all the time and my only reward is that occasionally someone says yes

As King explained, he initially hesitated to share the anecdote when asked, and only did so because he thought there was no way it would make it into the documentary. “I said to Chris [Smith, director], ‘Well, I know you’re not going to use this. But I’ll tell you the story…’ Then I went on my way, and I thought nothing of it.”
Afterwards, when King’s alarmed colleagues told him to make sure the clip wasn’t used, Smith reassured him that it needed to be included – and we are all richer for it.
“[Smith] said, ‘Andy, you’re going to have to trust me on this one…. We need it, and your delivery is phenomenal,’ said King.
“It was just me telling a story and being very calm, and it wasn’t sensationalised. It was what happened.”
I just tried to meditate and I couldn’t stop thinking about the guy who almost sucked a stranger’s dick to save the Fyre Festival.

It was clearly a trying ordeal in King’s life. But now in possession of unasked for blowjob-related fame, King has set about making the most of a weird situation.
In addition to directing people to GoFundMe pages for the Bahamians affected by the failed Fyre Festival, King has heard from three water companies currently working on their ad campaigns, though he “can’t talk about it too much” yet.
King also told Vanity Fair that there has been some interest in giving him a television show.
“I had three TV show offers this week, from notable networks,” he told Vanity Fair. Even if a deal is made, it will probably be a while before we see the result. But King envisions a positive, lighthearted show about event planning – something you might find on the Lifestyle channel.
“People love Flip or Flop or Fixer Upper. Let’s just say it’s going to be a show about hosting crazy events – what it takes to make them happen.”
Hopefully none of them take as much as Fyre Festival did, for King’s sake.
