Anderson Cooper reached out. David Copperfield, Paul Reubens and Debbie Allen were guests. 'Sundays With Sid' spotlights Krofft's Hollywood connections and enduring influence.
? Of course. He also watches episodes from many of the shows he produced and often tells stories about events and people in his past that include brushes with well-known celebrities. But it took a little prodding from “Sundays” producer and director Kelly Killian to get him in front of the camera. When COVID-19 hit, Killian would often sit and listen to Krofft talk about the past, before television fame thrust him into a different spotlight.
"[Kelly] said to me ‘You’ve got to go on Instagram! The stories!’ Nobody realizes there’s 28 years before ‘Pufnstuf’ and all that,” says Krofft. “I said to Kelly, ‘Come on. I’m 91.’”Killian says he was 90 at the time, and though they bicker like an old married couple, he reluctantly tried it out.
Those fans include many who are now stars in their own right. Just the other day, according to Krofft, Seth Rogen came to visit him. Why? Because he admired his work. “I met Sid when he called me to come up the mountain to that wonderful Hobbit palace that he lives in, which is filled with wood and crystals and goldfish and birds and all kinds of little animals. He makes the best cookies and juice, and he can seduce you into doing any damn thing. He called me, and I said yes before the hell I even knew it. His legacy is so amazing, and I look forward to doing something with him,” says Allen, rushing off to direct a scene.
