Leeroy Jenkins Gets A Prime-Time Name Check

I’m a fan of buddy crime-solving comedy Psych. The silly nature of the show and its constant references to obscure ’80s pop culture suits my downtime perfectly.

But when I heard Shawn Spencer (actor James Roday) bellow out a “Leeroy Jenkins” I thought that maybe it was just a coincidence. So I hit up USA Network to find out if that sly, sorta subtle, name check really was in reference to the famously bad, famously funny World of Warcraft player.

Turns out it was, according to the network’s director of communications. And there’s one more reason to love Psych.
