Pig Man Peppered One of the most controversial Survivor II castmates is back in the news. The famous pig "murderer", Michael Skupin, was burned once again. This time there was no fire to fall into. The fire came to him as he was repeatedly attacked with pepper spray by an animal-rights activist. Ironically enough, Michael was on his way to speak on behalf of a Missouri workplace safety program. His attacker, 30-year-old David Cravens, was arrested on the scene. However, Cravens handed Michael a letter stating that he acted alone, not on behalf of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) or any other animal-rights organization. Michael's been quite busy despite the attack. He recently announced he's considering a run for the U.S. Senate.
Pulling the Plug
That's right. Jay Leno's pulling the plug on The Tonight Show. For one night only. In honor of energy conservation and California's power crisis, Jay's June 21st episode will practically be in the dark. No studio lights. No TV monitors. No amplifiers. Anything with a power source won't be making an appearance for the special show...except cameras, of course. But the least amount of power will be used to get the show on the air. An NBC spokeswoman says, "There will be minimal lighting, which the audience will help us out with." So what can you expect to see in the dark? Jay will have some "illuminating" segments, nocturnal animals and Arsenio Hall. NBC says you'll just have to wait until the episode airs to find out about the other surprises. The peacock network came up with the idea after execs were asked to turn off lights and computers whenever possible. The amount of power to produce one episode of The Tonight Show is equal to a whole month's worth of power for a normal family home.
