"Seinfeld" The Masseuse (TV Episode 1993) - Trivia on IMDb: Cameos, Mistakes, Spoilers and more...
Senfeld S5E9: Because Elaine is dating a man with the same name as New York serial killer Joel Rifkin, she wants him to change his name to a less embarrassing one and suggests O.J.; about six months after this episode aired, O.J. Simpson was arrested and charged with the murder of his ex-wife and her friend.
There was also an episode of Buffy that was held from airing because the subject was a potential school shooting and it was planned to air like the day after Columbine.
Is this why in Arrested Development they keep renaming George Michael after sex criminals?
Just realized “George Maharis” is a real person who also cruised bathrooms looking for sex.
This show is just a fucking masterclass of writing.
And IIRC, one of those people was called Perfecto Telles - who is also a character in AD S4
Wut? I only knew about the obvious George Michaels one!
You know I have no idea what OJ stands for. It's Orenthal James.

Huh it's a TIL inception
It's TILs all the way down!
He makes watching the old Naked Gun movies even more interesting. If OJ had just stuck to making movies instead of stabbing.
I'm too young to realize this wasn't intentional. I always thought that was the joke
Other names for him were "The Denogginizer", "Headso" and Kramer's "Son of dad"
