** Many guests ask Hannibal if he's okay with standing up or if he'd prefer to say in his seat, since the set only has one chair besides the one Eric sits in.[[note]]The setup itself crosses back into hilarious, since the studio is ''intended'' this way -- The guest chair itself is decked out with functions intended to disturb the guest, such as actuators that poke the seated subject in the back at random intervals and being positioned under a leaky pipe, and is further compounded by Hannibal ''looming'' over the guest during their stay.[[/note]]

A decade later, and now Nick Cannon is infamously known for having at least twelve children across multiple women, making the interview seem eerily prophetic.

Many claim that if that single bit had been edited out, the immersion would have stayed.[[note]]Looking at the scenes in total, it appears that about half the bit is genuine, up until the bear approaches the sofa, and that Eric's and Hannibal's understandably nervous responses are taken from the moments that they were in the same room as said bear; apparently, the producers wisely decided not to let the cast get too close to a grizzly bear, which are infamous for being temperamental and unpredictable in unfamiliar environments.[[/note]]
