- TriviaThe only shared credit of Hugh O'Brian and Harvey Korman, each of whom have once been teamed with another frequent "Hollywood Squares" star, Buddy Hackett, in a pairing related in some way to the legendary comedy duo Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. When Abbott and Costello had to bow out of starring in what would have been one of their last movies together, Fireman Save My Child (1954), due to the latter's poor health, their respective roles were recast with O'Brian and Hackett as a one-time-only starring comedy team. Bud and Lou had shot some scenes for the film before exiting the project and can be seen as those characters in brief, far away shots of the finished film. Twenty-four years later, a TV movie biopic of the legendary team, Bud and Lou (1978), was made with Korman starring as Abbott and Hackett this time directly portraying Costello rather than just taking over one of his character roles, being the only person who worked on both of those movies nearly a quarter of a century apart.
