When playing Blaine Fabin in "Red, White and Blaine," it becomes necessary for Dr. Pearl (Eugene Levy) to remove his glasses. Unfortunately, Dr. Pearl's glasses corrected his lazy eye problem. Actor Fred Willard was unaware of the gag during shooting, and after delivering the line, "What did your keen and perceptive eyes behold?" to Fabin, he stared at Levy's lazy eye, finally understood why his line was funny, and "was gone for about ten minutes" with laughter.
The only parts that actually were scripted by Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy were the lines in the musical "Red, White and Blaine".
During the scene where Corky (Christopher Guest) is teaching the cast some dance moves, Eugene Levy can be seen in the back behind everyone, almost hidden from view. This is because whenever Guest would show off his moves, Levy would laugh so hard that they would have to cut and wait for him to stop laughing before doing another take. They figured it'd be best if Levy was in the back, where he would not be able to see Guest during this scene.
The musical auditions were the actors' first public performances of their respective audition pieces.
Over the closing credits, Christopher Guest gives an interview, in character as Corky, where he says that one of his favorite items for sale in his shop is "My Dinner With Andre" action figures. During development of the film, Guest (who also directed) was trying to find a role for Wallace Shawn, who plays himself in "Andre". No role could be found for Shawn, but Shawn kept wheedling, saying he wanted to be part of the film in some way. Eventually, Guest caved in by giving Shawn the action figures and the accompanying miniature dining room set. Shawn keeps the entire set on display in his home.
"Corky St. Clair: So what I'm understanding here, correct me if I'm wrong, is that you're not giving me any money, so now I'm left, basically, with nothing. I'm left with zero, in which, what can I do with zero? You know, what can I... I can't do anything with it. I need to... this is my life here we're talking about, we're not just talking about, you know, something else, we're talking about my life, you know? And it's forcing me to do something I don't wanna do: to leave. To go out and just leave and go home and say... make a clean cut here and say "no way, Corky. You're not putting up with these people." And I'll tell you why I can't put up with you people, because you're bastard people. That's what you are, you're just bastard people and I'm going home and I'm gonna... I'm gonna bite my pillow is what I'm gonna do!"
"Corky St. Clair: Well then, I just HATE you, and I hate your ass FACE!"
