Towelie gets over his drug addiction and writes a moving book about his experiences. Thanks to Oprah's support, the book becomes a best seller and his story inspires millions to turn their lives around. However, when he's caught in a lie by the grand dame of daytime television, Towelie's old habits start to look mighty appealing. Originally Aired 19th April 2006 How Kenny Dies - Guest Starring Vernon Chatman (Voice of Towelie), Kyle McCulloch (Voice of Unknown) and Nicole Draco (Voice of Oprah) Mini Commentary Download Get Flash to see this player. Trivia This episode parodies the events that happen in James Frey's novel, A Million Little Pieces. None of the recurring South Park characters except Towelie and the redhead woman extra in a blue shirt (who is a hostage) appear in this episode. This marks the first time that Stan is absent from two consecutive episodes. This is Towelie's first appearance since he appeared as an extra in the episode "Red Man's Greed", which aired on April 30, 2003. The publisher that rejected Towelie's book is called Porcupine Press, whose logo bears a striking resemblence to that of the publisher Penguin Books. The publisher of Towelie's book is called "Arbitrary House", a pun on the name of publisher Random House while also making light of the inference that the books Oprah selects for her Book of the Month are random, or at least not particularly exceptional literary works. One of the bookstores where Towelie makes an appearance is called "Frontier Books", an allusion to Borders Books. During the Geraldo Rivera phone call there are numerous pictures of Geraldo at locations he has never been to. This is an allusion to Geraldo's many sensationalistic stretchings of the truth (some might consider them to be lies). Towelie calls Rivera a "beaner," a slang usually used for Mexicans. While Rivera is half-Hispanic, he is Puerto Rican, not Mexican. The members of Oprah's studio audience receive torches under their seats to help them participate in the lynching of Towelie. Normally, Oprah's guests (and audience members at many other daytime talk shows) receive things like DVDs, CDs, and books, depending on who the show's guest is, and audience members are told to find these items under their seats. Oprah's minge has a parody of a cockney accent, while Gary, her asshole, has a bad Scottish or very poorly immitated scouse accent. Both also sound like the escaped convict and Joe, respectively, from "Great Expectations ". The voices of Mingey and Gary can also be compared to the voices commonly used by Terry Jones and Eric Idle of Monty Python's Flying Circus, respectively. Jones used the gruff "Mingey" voice when he was playing a criminal and Idle used a "Gary" voice when he his role was either an effeminate man or a woman. Matt Stone and Trey Parker have gone on record as big fans of Monty Python. "Gary" is Cockney rhyming slang for the anus, as in "Gary Glitter" - Shitter P.F. Chang's is an actual restaurant chain, based in Scottsdale, Arizona. According to the DVD commentary, this episode was originally a "bank episode"; that is, an episode which has parts of it animated before they start doing episodes the same week it airs; they will then return to this episode later in the run; "banking an episode" allows the staff to have one or two days off during the run. This was intended to be a spoof of the TV show Intervention with the people of South Park trying to get Towelie into rehab.
