1st of all I thought he made for a very strange interview.
It seems like he didn't have it all together.
Maybe he is shy or socially awkward.

2nd, I don't really understand his defense of the movie he was plugging, Two Minute Warning.
I get it that he was standing up for it because he was in it, but he picked a lousy movie to be in. Guess he must have really needed the money.
I watched a bit of it on YouTube, influenced by his Carson appearance, and I really don't see any point to the movie except to just make a picture to get the audience excited by guns, shooting, death, blood and violence.
It was nothing more than blood porn.
No substance to it at all and there is no excuse to make this movie.

Let me know if I'm on your ignore list.
Thanx!

I pretty much assumed he was loaded. And it definitely had the appearance that Carson and Rickles were on to him. Rickles especially pulled no punches calling him out for rambling on about a story that went nowhere.
