* WriteWhatYouKnow: Creator/GarryShandling based the show on his experience as the Monday night guest host of ''Series/TheTonightShow'' with Creator/JohnnyCarson from 1986 to 1987. Shandling was offered numerous deals to host his own late-night talk show, but turned them all down. A key moment in defining the show's theme of the contrast between a television personality's on-air persona and their RealLife demeanor was an incident that director Creator/KenKwapis witnessed when he was hanging out with Shandling backstage when Shandling guested during Carson's final weeks as host: laid-back bandleader Doc Severinsen talking to a show staffer and complaining very loudly and vulgarly about some coyotes that had trespassed in his backyard.

* WriteWhoYouKnow: Artie was originally based on longtime ''Tonight Show'' producer Fred de Cordova, who was a very friendly, gregarious man. However, Creator/RipTorn struggled with that characterization, and Shandling and the show's creative team realized that Torn's own irascible RealLife personality was a funnier fit for the character, so Artie became much more based on Torn himself.
