Anecdotes
The footage of Jaye P. Morgan flashing her breasts was taken from an actual taping of The Gong Show (1976) from which it had been deleted for television content restriction reasons.

Gaffes
When Dr. Jerry is auditioning for Chuck in the hospital, he is wearing a surgical mask covering his mouth, but under his nose. No surgeon would wear a mask that way.

Citations
Father Ed: Today I'd like to pose a Biblical question. Is there reincarnation after death, and if there is, does the individual return in a higher or lower state than he or she held in his or her mortal life?
Chuck Barris: Ooh, that's an interesting question, Father Ed. What is, uh, what is the answer to that question?
Father Ed: Beats the shit out of me.

Good old 70s sleaze

Like a trip back in time, late 70s hair, clothes, cars, shops, and wacky, sleazy humour. The only real plot concerns the host of an amateur talent show trying to either give up or come to terms with his job. He is constantly buttonholed by wannabe contestants who audition for him in hospitals, cafes, elevators and anywhere. We also see numerous a TS from the show, with much crass humour. Barris has a certain similarity to the darker persona of Jerry Lewis. At first he seems kind of non-descript and dull, but you are that this is his way of contrasting with all the zaniness around him. For a film almost universally despised, it was often good fun to watch.
