Trivia

At around 7 minutes when Wags says to himself in the mirror "It's showtime, folks!" it is a Joe Gideon quote from the film All That Jazz (1979). Though it also has a humerous double meaning as the name of the network that airs this show.

Goofs

Wendy is given a $5m bonus, and we see that her bank account is credited with $5m. However, she seems to be a regular employee, in which case her bank account would be credited with $5m minus the applicable taxes withheld (by law) by her employer.
