Instinct Interview With Bruce Vilanch
By Denny Patterson
Feb 19, 2025

Hollywood comedian, actor, and writer Bruce Vilanch sat down with Instinct Magazine’s Denny Patterson to talk about his upcoming memoir, “It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time,” set to release March 4.

Known for working on some of television’s biggest flops including the “Star Wars Holiday Special,” “The Paul Lynde Halloween Special,” and the short-lived “Brady Bunch Variety Hour,” “It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time” dives into Vilanch’s legendary career and hilariously unpacks what went right – and oh so wrong – in the world of showbiz.

Beyond discussing the book and what inspired him to write it, Vilanch also delves into the origins of these “train wreck” shows, his astonishment at their unexpected cult followings, and how the book serves as a poignant exploration of resilience in the face of adversity.
