The moment when Richard Kind throws a tongue that sticks to the wall was improvised. He was supposed to throw it into a garbage basket.
In order to replicate the look and feel of a hidden-camera TV show, most of the crew came from the TV show Impractical Jokers, where director Joe Imburgio is a producer.
Director Joe Imburgio first pitched Richard Kind the idea of playing the Mortician when the two met at a charity bowling event. Imburgio and Daniel Green had written the part specifically for Kind.
