Trivia
The Groove Tube's "Channel One Evening News" skit and its tagline, 'Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow,' was the direct inspiration for "Weekend Update" on Saturday Night Live. Chevy Chase, the original Weekend Update anchorman, was featured in The Groove Tube, although Ken Shapiro played the Channel One anchorman in the movie. See more »Goofs
Continuity: The opening of the "Channel One Evening News" skit includes a roll call of the reporters to be featured in the program. Among the reporters mentioned is "Freddie Fagu in Minneapolis," but Fagu's segment is missing from the skit. See more »Quotes
Hooker: Lionel? That sounds like a train, I'm gonna do a "non-stop" on you choo-choo.See more »
