Nope

That would have been one year later. Really totally forgot about the hype about "Who Shot J.R.?"

As to who shot JR, I think it starts with a "K"

This is a trick question because it has not happened yet. It will be the day that Tennessee fires Fulmer. Not because they are firing him, but due to the fact that pigs will actually fly and Hell will have frozen over.

Actually, the answer is CBS's coverage of the women's figure skating long program from Lillehammer in 1994. Tonya Harding versus Nancy "This is soooo cheesie" Kerrigan.
