Biography[]
David Newman was the host of a television variety show called The Newman Hour. On one episode, his special guests included parody musician "Weird" Al Yankovic and noted psychiatrist Doctor Samuel Loomis. Loomis appeared on the show to promote his new book The Devil Walks Among Us, the second of two unauthorized biographies on famed serial murderer Michael Myers. Loomis took his work very seriously and was not prepared for the light-hearted ribbing that he received from both Newman and "Weird" Al. David posited the uncomfortable question to Loomis on whether or not he felt as if he were profiteering off the misery of others.
