Information beginning to leak out now. His name is Joseph DeAngelo, a former cop who'd been fired from the Auburn, CA police department for shoplifting "dog repellent and a hammer." It always seems to start with animal abuse, doesn't it?
I know the story broke relatively late last night (10:35 PST), but I'm amazed that there's nothing in the San Francisco Chronicle or Sacramento Bee yet. Maybe the police asked them to hold until official confirmation, but.....
Two things:
1. England Dan/John Ford Coley are being played by The Milk Carton Kids, a band known for their very dry wit. And that is them singing the songs.
2. Not one mention of Max Casella's dancing? This was my takeaway, and I'm still hoping for the GIF.
How I would recast some of the participants for Match Game 2015:
Gene Rayburn -> Jeffrey Tambor
Charles Nelson Reilly -> Mario Cantone
Fannie Flagg -> Tig Notaro
I am so wanting a "The Trip" style on-the-road, buddy show featuring Mads Mikkelsen and Michael Shannon, where instead of attempting to out do the other's impersonations, they try to out do each other's "intense-face." And hilarity ensues!
