Goofs

Errors in geography: When Chuck Barris and Byrd are in Mexico City (according to a caption), we can see a Saguaro cactus in the background. This type of cactus can only be found in the Sonoran desert in the USA, and cannot survive over 3,000 ft. Mexico City is about 1000 miles away from the Sonoran desert and is at 7,500 ft. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Dick Clark: I wouldn't want to live his life because he hasn't been happy all of his life. All I think is if you can find work, stay healthy, find somebody to share it with, you're the ultimate success. He's had some of the pieces of the puzzle, but not all of them.
