The remarks from disbelieving townsfolk reminded the Strip of a Saturday Night Live sketch from way back in its curing days. The 1982 sketch, a fake Nightline episode, explored the assassination of Buckwheat (played by Eddie Murphy) by John David Stutts, who said he acted on orders from his dog. At one point in the sketch, Ted Koppel (played by Joe Piscopo) interviews Stutts' minister:
Minister: "He was a loner and a quiet young man. He attended church and Sunday school. I remember he was always very polite."
Koppel: "Do you believe he killed Buckwheat?"
Minister: "Oh, yes. Definitely. That's all he ever talked about."
