• During casting, when asked to take a seat, Robin Williams sat in the chair upside down. Producer Garry Marshall selected him because "He was the only alien to audition."
• Many of the gags seen on the show were on-the-spot improvisations by Robin Williams, and later by Williams and Jonathan Winters. The improvisations proved to be so effective and popular that the series' writers soon included specific sections in the scripts where Williams was allowed to perform freely, marked as "Robin goes off here." If you pay attention to Pam Dawber, you can often see her having difficulty not laughing at the ad-libs.
• Jay Leno auditioned for the role of Remo DaVinci. According to Leno, he was told by an ABC executive that his face would "frighten little children".
