Late Night with the Devil star David Dastmalchian says the film's demonic talk show has something in common with Heath Ledger's Joker.
"The Cairnes brothers sent me a bunch of footage that they accumulated of Don Lane. He was the Johnny Carson of Australian television. He did this famous interview with Tom Waits, and a lot of people think Heath Ledger took inspiration from it for his portrayal of The Joker," Dastmalchian told The Hollywood Reporter. "[The likelihood of shared inspiration] is pretty cool, and it’s also the cyclical nature of being a storyteller and the strange path that it’s followed."
