* CreatorBreakdown: InUniverse, viewers are generally of the opinion that "Night Owls" has been going downhill ever since the death of Jack's wife, becoming unconcerned with entertainment and education and more with lame shock value and ratings stunts. Sure enough, the behind-the-scenes footage makes increasingly clear that Jack hasn't been doing well emotionally since Madeline's passing and the stress of keeping the show going isn't helping.

* ShoutOut: Haig mentions his recent debunkings during his intro, specifically visiting [[Film/TheAmityvilleHorror1979 a famlliar-looking house in Amityville, New York]]. He also mentions he reached out to [[Film/TheConjuringUniverse Ed and Lorraine Warren]], who declined to appear on ''Night Owls'', although it's unclear whether he's referring to the fictionalised versions of them that have appeared in several films, or the actual [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_and_Lorraine_Warren#Amityville Ed and Lorraine Warren]], upon whose investigations those films were based.
** The network that screens "Night Owls" is named UBS, the same name as the tv network in ''Film/{{Network}}''.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Some of Jack's jokes are purposefully more off-color than would be allowed today, such as a skit where he arm-wrestles a black dwarf and mocking Gus for apparently "touching" some women at a cabaret show the week before.

** Many of Haig's condescending remarks, especially towards fellow guest June, would get him severely reprimanded for behaving that way on a modern talk show.
** As expected in TheSeventies, many people are seen smoking both on-set and off. Jack poses with a cigarette in several of his publicity shots, and even obliges Haig's request to a light a cigar while sitting in his chair.
