Trivia
In her acceptance speech of the Silver Microphone, Gale Gayley takes out an onion and starts peeling it off. This is a direct reference to Henrik Ibsen's play "Peer Gynt".

Chevy Chase could not be credited because he was under contract with Warner Brothers at the time. Columbia Pictures was allowed to hire Chase as long as he would go uncredited so he would not violate his contract.
