The films gained popularity and caught the attention of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Moron Movies were a regular feature on the show from 1983 to 1985.[2]

After The Tonight Show, Cella's work was shown on Dick Clark's TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes[8] under the name Len Cella's Silly Cinemas, a moniker that Cella despised.

In 1987 Cella published a book entitled Things to Worry About (In Case You Run Out).[9]
