Behind the Scenes
- Asshole Mastermind: David Cross originally conceived of the idea for the sketch "Asshole at Party" with fellow comic Louis C.K.
- Origins of Change: The origin of the sketch "Change for a Dollar" was a phone call Cross made to inquire about caricatures to use as artwork for Mr. Show. When asked about the cost, the artist made "calculating" clicking sounds before coming up with a random, too-high number.
- Cut Scenes: The script pages for the scene "deemed not funny enough" in the sketch "Ronnie Dobbs" can be found in the book Mr. Show: What Happened?
