Milo Ventimiglia Defends Crock-Pot From 'Misdirected Hate' After Jack's Death

Milo Ventimiglia is Team Crock-Pot all the way. After This Is Us fans learned that Jack Pearson died from cardiac arrest as a result of smoke inhalation following a fire at the family’s home caused by a faulty slow cooker, many of the show’s crew members have come to the kitchen appliance’s defense. On Wednesday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ventimiglia further clarified why Crock-Pot is not to blame. “It’s a good reminder to check your batteries, ladies and gentleman, and your smoke detectors,” he says, “unplug your devices maybe.” When DeGeneres presses him on the end of his statement and asks if he thinks the Crock-Pot is at fault, Ventimiglia is quick to correct her that the Pearson family owned a “slow cooker”—not the Crock-Pot brand so many people have come to love.
