Part of Witness Protection Program
Not sure if this should be part of article but he did a segment on "Drunken History" in which he discussed his father's criminal career and subsequent placement of family into the witness protection program.--

He cites the name Johnny Shaheen, however a search of newspaper articles around that time do mention a Nicholas K Shaheen, who was eventually granted protective custody.
[1]. Can't see anything about his family though. And as the program warns, these narrators are, or appear to be, very drunk. --

Are you saying he got his dad's name wrong? Or do you question the validity of the entire DH segment so that his family being in the WPP can't be included in the wiki bio?--

My assumption was that "Johnny" could well have been a nickname, and not used in most of the official records. But it also sounded like he might not have had much to do with his father since he was very young, so a simple mistake? I do think caution is in order though, since Drunk History is primarily an entertainment show, and surely can't be considered a reliable source. --

I know this is old news, but the show said his father was arrested for counterfeiting and then confessed to the arson. So there wouldn't be any records of his father being arrested for arson. It's pretty possible there was simply no article about his father being arrested, and since he was being protected, nothing about his father being an informant. Police wouldn't want their informant being in the headlines.

link to father wrong
I'm pretty sure his father wasn't the John Shaheen the link is referring to. That bio leads to a multi-millionaire buisnessman without links to arson. — Preceding
