Trivia
Both Julia Roberts and Drew Barrymore worked for a scale salary of $250,000 as a favor to their friend, director George Clooney. Brad Pitt and Matt Damon cameoed for free.

The film was spoofed in a brief article in The Onion entitled "Movie Marketed as Six Different Genres" ("a romantic comedy, a spy thriller, a Hollywood satire, a straightforward biopic... a strange, Being John Malkovich (1999)-esque mind-bender," and a chick flick).

George Clooney started a relationship with Krista Allen after the film was finished. They broke up two years later.

Goofs
In one scene, with Chuck's secretary and Chuck Barris in his office, the scene is labeled as taking place in LA, 1967. On a close up of the secretary, over her left shoulder, is the sheet music to Frank Mill's "Music Box Dancer", which was not written until 1974, and didn't become a hit single until 1978.

Twice in the film Chuck Barris lights a cigarette backwards (i.e. he lights the filter with the tip in his mouth.) The first time is in Chuck's office with him and his secretary (labeled as taking place in LA, 1967), and the second time is in a car with Chuck, Byrd, and Simon Oliver in Helsinki 1967. Also, in each of these scenes Chuck is smoking a different brand of cigarettes, though this may very well have been on purpose.

The application for employment that Chuck Barris fills out to be a page at NBC lists NBC's address with a ZIP code. ZIP codes were not in use until 1963.

Q
Why does Chuck switch the cups and then Patricia switches them back afterwards? Why wouldn't Patricia have the cup with the poison already nearest Chuck? Why does she switch them?
A
The poisoned cup was by Chuck in the first place. What Chuck does is switch the sugar marker, fooling Patricia into thinking he span the entire tray. (This means that the poisoned cup is still by Chuck.) She takes the bait, spins the entire tray, and repositions the sugar to where she thinks Chuck won't notice. But because she's the first to actually spin the tray, the poisoned cup is now in front of her.
