Special Victims

Was anyone else as shocked by the season finale of Law & Order: SVU as I was? That show has gotten pretty ridiculous in its old age, but I still love it all the same. I mean, how can you go wrong with a cast that includes a rapper, a nerdy comedian, and a guy that humps a fridge?
Speaking of the nerdy comedian, in doing some post-SVU research on the Wikipedia, I discovered a hilarious little tidbit from Richard Belzer’s past. Maybe this is a less obscure fact to those who aren’t too young to remember it, but Belzer had a live talk show on Lifetime in the 1980s, and was once assaulted by Hulk Hogan on the air. Belzer sued Hogan after the stunt and later settled for enough money to buy a house in France. How’s that for being a special victim?
BONUS: Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, you can watch the whole incident play out on YouTube! It’s long, and poor in quality, so if you don’t want to watch the (figuratively) painful first half that includes Hogan and Mr. T getting taunted by Belzer for being fake wrestlers, you can skip to the 5-minute mark where the real pain begins.
