Talk Is Jericho: 40 Years Of Anthony Michael Hall

Anthony Michael Hall has starred in some seriously iconic movies, starting with a very memorable turn as Rusty Griswold in the comedy classic Vacation! He talks about working with and learning from Chevy Chase, John Candy, and Beverly D’Angelo. He explains how that Vacation experience led directly to his incredible working relationship and friendship with the late great writer/director John Hughes, with whom he did Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Weird Science. Anthony shares some great stories from those movie sets, all that John Hughes did for him personally, and what happened that caused the rift in their relationship. He also remembers the single season he spent on Saturday Night Live with Robert Downey, Jr. (with whom he remains great friends) and Damon Wayans! He discusses his favorite sketches and reveals why he thinks it’s the worst season in the show’s history. Plus, Anthony comments on Andrew McCarthy’s new Hulu documentary, Brats, and shares some BTS moments from his latest projects – the upcoming third season of Reacher and the just-released Netflix movie Trigger Warning !
