Alabama news segment that seems too hilarious to be real." Reporter Brian Johnson was interviewed by radio stations in Dallas and Los Angeles following the report. Political commentator Bill O'Reilly of Fox News's The O'Reilly Factor debated whether or not the video perpetuated racial stereotypes. The video was also lampooned on Comedy Central's The Daily Show, Key and Peele, and South Park. Tosh.0 featured the clip in a "Web Investigation" segment in 2011, with host Daniel Tosh visiting Crichton and interviewing those involved with the video. Tosh referred to the clip as "the Gone with the Wind of Internet videos. It's old. It's famous. And it makes the South look terrible." Many quotes and elements of the video, most notably the alleged leprechaun sketch, were printed on T-shirts, mousepads and other merchandise. WPMI-TV later auctioned off the leprechaun sketch for $1,100 on eBay, with the proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. The clip continues to receive media attention annually on St. Patrick's Day. Walker now works for WDSU-TV in New Orleans and has written on his website about the report: "It's fun to be part of something that's talked about so much for so long, although some of my co-workers are probably really tired of it. But I never get tired of hearing about it." The Bob and Dan Show on KTCK 1310 The Ticket in Dallas conducted a field investigation in 2014 interviewing locals about their memories of the incident. Numerous witnesses identified the Crichton Leprechaun as a local townsperson named "Sean," who was a dwarf. The interviewers were brought to meet the man, who recounted the story as a prank played on the local community in which he dressed in a leprechaun suit and climbed a tree while his friends alerted others about a leprechaun sighting. The children's television show Atención Atención included the amateur sketch of the purported Crichton leprechaun in the episode where Vera, la pulga viajera (the traveling flea), visits Ireland. An Irish shop owner informs Vera about leprechauns, and presents the sketch of the Crichton leprechaun. He also mentions that they've never been captured in photos or on video, which encourages Vera to pursue one. The sketch of the Crichton leprechaun is used again in a few transition scenes during the short animation.
