How much A-list talent can you stuff in a one-car garage?- Behind the scenes fact: The curtain behind Bob is manually
operated by one of the cameramen, who stands backstage with the
guest, opens and closes the curtain, then sneaks out to man the
third camera.
- Bob rose to prominence with a
video he made during the '07-'08 writer’s
strike which had special guest star Christina Applegate (
”Married with Children”) who plays
substitute for his wife.
- The set is designed by Emmy award winning “Will and
Grace” designer, Glenda Rovello, and is literally bolted to the
garage door – so if the garage ever opened, it would be crumpled,
destroyed and end up in the alley behind the house.
- One of Bob Kushell’s first TV writing gigs was for a
little show called
“The Simpsons.” where Bob wrote "The
Shinning" segment of “Treehouse of Horror V,” origin of one of the
world’s greatest Simpson exchanges:
Homer: Well, what do you think, Marge? All I need is a title. I was
thinking along the lines of... No TV and no beer make Homer
something, something.
Marge: Go crazy?
Homer: Don't mind if I do!
