 Independent Gay Forum: Miller, Stephen H. 'Jenny Jones: A Just Verdict?'
If you need a reminder, during an episode of the Jones show taped on March 6, 1995, the 32-year-old Amedure, who was openly gay, revealed his “secret crush” on his friend, a surprised, 24-year-old (and presumably heterosexual) Schmitz.
Back after the 1995 murder, groups such as the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) strenuously condemned Jenny Jones and her show, blaming its alleged sensationalism and circus atmosphere for “using” and debasing gay people -- although the openly gay Amedure seemed quite happy to be “used” as the instigator of the planned surprise.
Others, however, objected to blaming Jenny Jones and/or her producers, and even suggested the show was being “inclusive” toward gay people.

PONTIAC, Michigan (CNN) -- Jonathan Schmitz -- who admitted killing a gay admirer after the man revealed his crush on him during a taping of the "Jenny Jones" talk show -- was sentenced Wednesday to a minimum of 25 years for second-degree murder.
Schmitz, who listened dispassionately to the verdict after reading a poem expressing his sorrow for the March 1995 shooting death of Scott Amedure, will serve a maximum of 50 years in prison and will be eligible for appropriate appeals.
The defense argued that "Jenny Jones" producers did not tell Schmitz that the secret admirer he was to meet on the show was a man. Witnesses said Schmitz had assumed his admirer would be a female acquaintance.

 I wonder if Jenny Jones can come up with a topic that rhymes with "canceled."
Nevermind that every other Jenny Jones show focuses on people who "dress too sexy" (in which the audience boos and sneers when they display the before picture, which means that they're no better than the people they criticize), hypocrisy is kosher when it's an ex-fatass who wants her 15 minutes.
Every Jenny Jones show is like the one above, with various permutations of the following rhyming words: "geek, chic, teen, obscene, hot, not, mom, bomb" and many others.
Thank you Jenny Jones for your years of glorifying parents who have "out of control teens" and encouraging stupid kids with bad attitudes by putting them on television.

Yes, the Jenny Jones show left Schmitz angry and upset — as, presumably, did the sexually explicit notes Amadure apparently left on Schmitz's doorstep.
But the Jones show is not responsible for his extreme, violent reaction; and his anger hardly gave him license to kill.
"The Jenny Jones Show," by comparison, is an embarrassing piece of schlock — one of the tawdriest of the daytime talk shows that everyone (as they say) loves to hate.
