Trivia

Richard Benjamin previously directed a similar film, My Favorite Year. Both films feature a young comedy writer on a 1950's TV show that is based on _Your Show Of Shows (1950) (TV)_, and stars a Sid Caesar-like comedian. Mark Linn-Baker, who plays one of the writers in "Laughter," played the young writer in My Favorite Year, which was produced (uncredited) by Mel Brooks, a fellow writer with Neil Simon on Caesar's 1950's TV show.

Quotes

[At his mother's grave]
Max: Ma, have you given any thought to moving next to Pop? I think he really misses you. You wouldn't have to talk to him. I think he just wants to lie next to you. It's cold over there. He doesn't have the sun like you. (Listens) Okay.
Harry: What'd she say?
Max: She wants to sleep on it.
