* In place of the usual "Created by: Michael Schur", the title cards say, after "Created by", "A Bunch of Dingdongs", "Some Fat Dinks", "A Crew of Idiots", "YourMom", "One Dingus, Another Dingus and An Even Bigger Dingus", and "Your Mom (She Came Back and Did Another One)".

* The official Youtube channel livestreamed and uploaded [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0z-Lf7EkfU a five-hour video]] of what Janet does in her void. A good 90% of that video comprises Janet just happily standing there in silence (with the occasional change in arm position and camera cut), waiting for someone to ask for her assistance. Whenever she is needed, she bings out until she's done. Which leads to the other 10% of the video--an empty, unoccupied white void.

* Visual effects producer David Niednagel had Joe Mande (the guy who plays Todd the lava monster) wear a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1F4gUJ-BiU ridiculous greenscreen suit]] for the role, knowing full well that it was completely unnecessary.

* In one of the promos for Season Kristen Bell admits that Michael Schur told her how he wanted Season 3 (and the show itself) to end, but she can't remember what he said. She then muses that Michael wiped her memory.

* When juggling the [[spoiler:Earth-destroying detonator]] during the filming of "You've Changed, Man", Manny Jacinto accidentally lets it fall. [[https://www.facebook.com/NBCTheGoodPlace/videos/2389935984446320/ The cast reactions have to be seen]]: Kristen walks around in stunned silence, Will and Ted scream and run, D'Arcy bounces from wall to wall, Jameela straight up faints, Marc Evan moves in slo-mo and Maya starts scream-laughing like a banshee before chanting "I saw it coming!".

* In [[https://ew.com/tv/2018/12/06/the-good-place-darcy-carden-janets/ this]] interview, D'Arcy Carden talks about the preparations for her sixfold role in "Janet(s)", including a complete run-through with the respective actors that was filmed to be a reference for her to portray each character correctly. D'Arcy started listening to it in every single moment prior to filming, including while driving. Once she saw William Jackson Harper walking down the street, so she pulled over, rolled down the car window and blasted his own voice back to him. He reacted by telling her she had completely gone crazy!

* During production of the first season, only Creator/KristenBell and Creator/TedDanson knew about the twist from the beginning. Kristen [[http://ew.com/tv/2017/09/20/the-good-place-bad-place-video-kristen-bell/ recorded]] a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi-J5QyF4hU video]] of the remaining cast members being told about the season 1 reveal. Their reactions are face-holding shock from Jameela, surprised giggling and hiding behind clothing from D'arcy, [[BigWhat a giant "Oooooooh!"]] from Harper, and Manny just... flailing and twitching as he tries to process everything.

* Eleanor is known to have a huge CelebrityCrush on Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin. Stone Cold [[ https://twitter.com/USA_Network/status/1176572754272743424 shared his thoughts]], and the TGP crew [[https://twitter.com/nbcthegoodplace/status/1176573408722579456/photo/1 responded]].

** Jameela breaking character as the normally posh Tahani and going on a five-second swearing tirade...[[OhCrap and then realizing that one of the crew members' kids might still be present]]... [[FromBadToWorse and may have headphones]], meaning they would have heard her perfectly. An off screen voice says they are and they did.

** Doubly funny when Michael Schur related in an interview Manny initially worried the meeting was going to involve them being fired.
