‘Family Feud’ killer Timothy Bliefnick, who mocked marriage on TV, defends tasteless joke about wife before murder
NY Post ^ | 28/9/23 | Alyssa Guzman

The“Family Feud” contestant who was convicted of his ex-wife’s murder after he trashed his marriage on the popular game show is still defending a tasteless joke he made on the program about regretting saying “I do.”

Timothy Bliefnick, 40, addressed the infamous quip in his first interview since he was sentenced in August to life in prison for the gruesome murder of his wife, Rebecca “Beck” Postle Bliefnick, whom he shot 14 times.

“It wasn’t said with any malice or bad intentions. It was supposed to be funny,” he told Erin Moriarty of “48 Hours” in an upcoming episode, which is set to air Saturday.

Bliefnick was still married to Rebecca Bliefnick when he appeared on a 2019 episode and was asked to name the “biggest mistake you made at your wedding.” To host Steve Harvey’s shock, the contestant replied: “I do.”

“Steve Harvey looked at me, like: ‘Oh, you’re gonna be in trouble,’ and I even said that,” Bliefnick said in the clip.

“And I said: ‘Hey, it’s not me, I love my wife.’ And I mean, I looked right at the camera and said, ‘I love my wife,’ and looked at the camera and said, ‘Honey, I love you.'”

The couple split two years later, and four years after, the father of three broke into his estranged wife’s home and shot her while their children slept in their beds upstairs.

A negativity in public about a spouse is about 1% of the negativity within the home.

Henny Youngman didn’t kill his spouse.

It was probably known that this POS was capable of doing what he did - but our useless "justice" system would have gone nuts on anyone who decided to solve the problem before the problem killed.

It's how the grifters who run the system milk it with their grift.

He did want you to take her, please.
That’s a joke from a comedian. For a normal person, leaking negativity in public usually indicates a lot of unhappiness in the home.

People doing life in prison did not get to give interviews to the media when I was younger. But what the hell. That was then and this is now. Do they get to date and shack up? Are they allowed to hold down an outside job? If the job requires it are they allowed to travel? Is it any wonder people don’t dread prison now?

Society has gone nuts.

This is what happens when you lock the whole country down for 2 freakin' years, take away peoples jobs, businesses, entertainment, don't let kids attend school, don't let people visit family members in hospital, don't let wakes/funerals happen, force people to wear masks, force people to get a shot or get fired, etc etc etc.

Once you start cutting down your spouse in public the marriage is over. It is a just a matter of time.

Sounds like "Family Feud" is using old "Newlywed Game" writers and questions.

You forgot, secretly mutilate kids and murder babies in the womb or even once they’re out of it, and tell said kids that they’re either racists, or hopeless perpetual victims, and turn the streets of once-great cities into mad houses, make crime pay, use the criminal justice system to shut down a political opponent, and criminalize free speech (did I miss anything?). Somehow, all of the above, including your list, causes a ripple effect that turns divorces into crime scenes, with foreshadowing on TV game shows.

It’s not Trump’s fault. He’s the last best hope out of all that, but only as the ant kicking the snowflake down the mountain.

But Youngman either divorced her like a normal Holly-weirdo, lived happily ever after with her and thanked her for her inspiration of that joke which made them both a fortune, or some combination of the two. He did NOT kill her!

Ironic, because the creator of the Newlywed Game was a CIA assassin as a sideline.

I think he went nuts before then. They made a movie about him, A Dangerous Mind.

However, again, he was a comedian. Comedians whatever it takes to get a rise out of people. Rodney Dangerfield had a wife who actually loved him, no matter what he said on stage.

For most people, their true mindsets leak when they try to suppress it.

This guy was trying to do comedy, only he meant it so plainly that his wife left him and, later, he murdered her.
