On the short-lived series, Downey was abusive, rude, and caustic to guests and audience members, whom he would occasionally egg on to violence by playing devil's advocate. Despite the controversy he generated on the air, the show was not terribly popular. After its demise, Downey appeared in a couple films, like "Meet Wally Sparks" (1997), as himself. As an actor he appeared in television movies such as "Thanksgiving Day" (1989) and in features like "Silencer" (1992). His father, "Morton Downey", was a popular singer/actor and early television performer. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
