Farina Ad-Libs On Strickland

[DarkDante]

Alright I don't make it a habit of watching the revamped UM hosted by Dennis Farina so I apologize if many are already aware of this.

Anyhow, for those of you who have seen the original Missy Munday/Jerry Strickland segment as broadcast on February 5, 1988 (Special #5) might remember that Robert Stack read Strickland's list of offenses from passing bad checks, assault and cutting his sister in-law's throat and leaving her for dead.

Well in the revamp Farina reads this same list of offenses while addressing the camera before looking directly into the camera and going "off-script" to add the following ad-lib.

"This Was Not A Nice Guy!"



I don't know whether or not it's because I'm so familiar with the Strickland case having watched it many times over as it was originally broadcast but the ad-lib caught me completely off guard and has to rank up there as one of the most hilarious moments in the history of the entire show.
