Allan Havey interviews Robert Downey in 1991 about TOO MUCH SUN

Downey (a prince) jokes that his latest release, TOO MUCH SUN, would be his last (it wasn't), but the director of GREASER'S PALACE, PUTNEY SWOPE and POUND certainly has plenty to say in this 1991 interview.  Havey's "Night After Night" was a great forum for guests like Downey, as the informal style and long-form discussions were a welcome departure from the more quick-entertaining-story focus of most late-night talk shows.  This nearly 15 minute interview would be a welcome addition to any Downey retrospective. (Havey can more recently be seen as Lou Avery on "Mad Men.")  

TOO MUCH SUN is still a pretty ridiculous movie.

John Candy is Rod Serling's son Chris in "The Twilight Zonettes"

On the short-lived sketch comedy program "The New Show," Candy (as Rod Serling's fictional son) introduces a trio of tales that cut right to the point because telling a whole story is such a waste of time!  Watch for Buck Henry, Laraine Newman, Dave Thomas, Tom Davis and Allan Havey.
