Epilogue: -It was measured that the airing of this joke killed close to 2,304 people that night. -All of the members in the band "Digital Underground," who wrote this song "The Humpty Dance", were chased down and hanged without trial. -The host of the show was later fired, and killed himself two years after this recording. -The confused white kid, who told the joke, fled and went into hiding, and was last seen having joined an Eastern Monastery in Tibet repenting for him crimes. -The parents of the kid were sued by the broadcasting corporation for $500,000, and the case went to trial. They later settled for $200,000 and declared bankruptcy. -The U.S. Department of Commerce reported a dip in the nations GDP, on the night that the joke was aired, and the airing of this joke was blamed as one of the causes leading up to the 2000 economic recession. -All traces of the song in which this joke was based on, were tracked down and burned and banned in 50 states to prevent a repeat of this tragedy. -A book deal "I Lived Though the Humpty Joke: A True Story of Survival", was contracted to an anonymous author, but nothing came of it in the years to follow.

- "Did you come up with the Humpty joke yourself? Did you try it out on a test audience (parents/siblings)?" - "No. Before the show aired, they asked us what we wanted to do when we grew up. For some reason I said either a baseball manager or stand-up comedian. They asked if I had a joke. Being that I was 12, I didn't. So their production assistant wrote that for me and that's what I performed. I tested it out on absolutely no one before I told it on the air."
