* HarpoDoesSomethingFunny: Like many of the films that Creator/WillFerrell and Creator/JuddApatow would go on to create throughout the rest of the decade, the final film is the result of hours upon hours of improvisation and multiple-rapid-fire takes of the same gags (aka "Line-O-Rama") being edited into a feature presentation.

* FocusGroupEnding: Bad test audience reactions more or less shaped it into an entirely different movie. Originally, the film centered around a group of bank robbers calling themselves 'the Alarm Clock' — yes, the footage that became the direct-to-video film ''Wake Up, Ron Burgundy!'' When this story failed to strike a chord with audiences, all references to the Alarm Clock were removed, and a sizeable chunk of the film was reshot to include the familiar panda subplot. Also, Baxter (initially a large, masculine dog) became little, fuzzy and cute, adding another memorable element to the film.
