History Trivia / TheWorldAccordingToJeffGoldblum

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Disappeared from Disney+ in May 2023, without any official physical or PVOD release.

* TroubledProduction: Downplayed. Filming for Season Two began in Winter 2020 for the announced "Fireworks" episode, only for UsefulNotes/CoronavirusPandemic lockdowns to shut production down. Over the summer and fall, Goldblum shot ''Jurassic World: Dominion'' in Europe and was set to resume filming for this show that November, only for the pandemic to have ''worsened'' in the U.S. Things eventually improved enough to start again, with Season Two premiering two years to the day from Season One's debut, though COVID-19 restrictions resulted in Goldblum only traveling to locations in California and Georgia for all episodes besides "Fireworks".

Things eventually improved enough to start again, with Season Two premiering two years to the day from Season One's debut, though COVID-19 restrictions are apparent in the comparatively limited variety of locations Goldblum visited ("Dance"'s segments all unfold in Atlanta, GA for instance).

* MissingTrailerScene: There are a few clips in the D23 trailer that don't appear in the finished episodes, such as Goldblum performing an impromptu Spanish song-and-dance in "Sneakers" and trying to guess the flavors the visitors to the Las Vegas ice cream truck are going to buy.

Over the summer and fall, Goldblum shot ''Jurassic World: Dominion'' in Europe and was set to resume filming for this show that November, only for the pandemic to have ''worsened'' in the U.S. by that point. Especially given his advanced age, Season Two will likely not be able to film and air until vaccine(s) are widely available and used in the United States, and/or the format is changed to eliminate activities requiring him to physically interact with strangers.

* SleeperHit: On the one hand, this was the most-hyped of the unscripted charter Disney+ productions because of the presence of the eccentric actor, who became the "face" of the National Geographic brand on the service and did plenty of morning/talk show appearances to promote it. Still, it saw far less advertising (especially offline) than KillerApp ''Series/TheMandalorian'' and the extensive back catalogs of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and ''Star Wars'' movies and shows or virtually the entire run of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', all of which had more obvious appeal to kids/families. While reviews were [[https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_world_according_to_jeff_goldblum/s01 mostly favorable]], even positive notices warned that it wouldn't appeal to viewers who weren't Goldblum fans...but by the time the first season ended it quietly became the service's third original production to be renewed for a second season (after ''The Mandalorian'' and ''Series/HighSchoolMusicalTheMusicalTheSeries'').

* DeletedScene: The Disney+ synopsis for "Cosmetics" mentions a segment about "the spiritual meaning behind Native American face designs", and a promotional photo from it exists (with Goldblum's face painted), but the actual segment does not appear. Combined with this episode being noticeably shorter than the others -- 22 minutes rather than at least 25 -- it appears to have been cut at the last moment for reasons unknown.

* ChannelHop: Originally announced for the Creator/NationalGeographicChannel in 2018, by the time it began filming in April 2019 the Disney-Fox merger went through and it was decided to move to Creator/DisneyPlus. In the process, it became the Day One flagship of the [=NatGeo=] brand on the service, and by the time its first season finished airing it became its third original show to be renewed for a second (after ''Series/TheMandalorian'' and ''Series/HighSchoolMusicalTheMusicalTheSeries'').

* DeletedScene: Possibly. The Disney+ synopsis for "Cosmetics" teases a segment about "the spiritual meaning behind Native American face designs" that does not appear in the episode. Since this episode is noticeably shorter than the others -- 22 minutes rather than at least 25 -- this suggests the segment was filmed but cut. Or was the writer in a hurry and based that part of the synopsis on a passing mention in one of the StockFootage montages about tribes all over the world using makeup over the centuries?
