Trivia / Joe Pera Talks With You

• The Danza: Joe Pera is played by Joe Pera, and Gene Gibson is played by Gene Kelly ^note (not that one).
• The Other Darrin: Joe's actual grandmother, who played herself in "Joe Pera Helps You Find The Perfect Christmas Tree", passed away before the filming of Joe Pera Talks With You. Joe recast her role by visiting a series of local Michigan fish fries to find someone he'd have chemistry with. She has since been played by a different actress every season.
  • Inversely, Gene was originally unable to appear in "Joe Pera Helps You Find The Perfect Christmas Tree" due to being too busy working as the cameraman on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and he was played by another actor. Joe Pera Talks With You is his proper debut.
