Throughout shooting this miniseries, 'Kid In The Hall' Scott Thompson was suffering from B-cell non-Hodgkin's gastric lymphoma. He completed six rounds of chemotherapy and one month of radiation and is now cancer-free.
The name of the television news producer character, Levon Blanchard (played by Dave Foley), is a nod to John Blanchard, who directed many sketches on the original Kids in the Hall series.
In real life, Los Angeles got the 2028 Olympics.
