Some maniac who wanted to kill, found an excuse in something he heard Pat Sajak say. Of course. Pat Sajak was talking to HIM. The two words, "DO IT" were a clear message.
"Did the DEVIL tell you to kill?" "No, Pat Sajak." "Same thing."
You could come up with a dozen like that, if there was a late night show sick enough to put 'em in the monologue.
It's hard to resist, even when you've had experience with delusional idiots blaming celebrities.
After my bio on Bill Cosby came out, I got a bit of "fan mail." The most amusing was a kind of perfunctory letter from a kid who said he was "forced" as a school assignment to write to the author of a book. So he chose to read my book, and let me know.
The least amusing was from a guy who wanted my help in convincing Bill Cosby to STOP MONITORING HIM. STOP TORMENTING HIM. STOP FOLLOWING HIM. The chilling letter described how Cosby was using "rays" to not only keep track of him, but to penetrate his brain. It went on and on. Bill Cosby, of all people, as the source of this demented person's agony.
The more sophisticated maniac, like Charles Manson, would pick a much more "logical" thing to hang his craziness on. Like the song "Helter Skelter." But, uncomfortably, there are people who find themselves helpless or homicidal because of a Bill Cosby or a Pat Sajak.
