text: The clip continues to receive media attention annually on St. Patrick's Day. Walker now works for WDSU-TV in New Orleans and has written on his website about the report: "It's fun to be part of something that's talked about so much for so long, although some of my co-workers are probably really tired of it. But I never get tired of hearing about it."
  The Bob and Dan Show on KTCK 1310 The Ticket in Dallas conducted a field investigation in 2014, interviewing locals about their memories of the incident. Numerous witnesses identified the Crichton Leprechaun as a local resident named "Midget Sean," a person of short stature. The interviewers met the man, who recounted the story as a prank played on the local community, in which he dressed in a leprechaun suit and climbed a tree while his friends alerted others about a leprechaun sighting.
  The children's television show Atención Atención included the amateur sketch of the purported Crichton leprechaun in the episode where Vera, la pulga viajera (the traveling flea), visits Ireland. An Irish shop owner informs Vera about leprechauns, and presents the sketch of the Crichton leprechaun. He also mentions that they've never been captured in photos or on video, which encourages Vera to pursue one. The sketch of the Crichton leprechaun is used again in a few transition scenes during the short animation.
