In the final scene, the woman seated next to Tony Scotti (played by 'Weird Al' Yankovic) is Suzanne Krajewski Yankovic, 'Weird Al' Yankovic's wife.
nm0705356 actually learned to play the accordion for the film. He first took lessons from a friend, then 'Weird Al' Yankovic himself while on set. He admits to not playing very well, but passable enough for the movie.
Inspired by Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2010), a "Funny or Die" short starring Aaron Paul as Al and Patton Oswalt as Dr. Demento. 'Weird Al' Yankovic himself appears in the short playing a similar character to the one he would play in the full-length film.
The ending theme song, "Now You Know", contains a line saying the song is eligible for an Oscar. This ended up not being true as per Academy rules, the movie must be in an LA theater for a minimum of a week to be eligible. Despite 'Weird Al' Yankovic begging Roku, they declined. The song, and movie, are still eligible for Emmys.
nm0705356 was chosen by 'Weird Al' Yankovic partially as a result of seeing him sing The Elements on The Graham Norton Show (2007). The performance had stuck in his head and when they started casting, Daniel was his first choice.
