  • Descended Creator: Byron Allen is one of the regular panelists. Jodi Miller, head content producer, also appears on the panel from time to time.
  • In Memoriam: At least one January 2022 rerun ended with a dedication to regular panelist Louie Anderson, who succumbed to cancer earlier that month. Starting with the fourth season in fall 2022, a plaque reading "Louie's Chair" was added to the lower-right chair he usually sat in.
  • Milestone Celebration: For the 100th episode on April 27, 2018, the top prize was bumped up to $15,000. It was not won, the contestant missing the third and final question.
    • The 200th episode (which aired a day early, on September 19, 2019) saw the top prize increase to $20,000. Sadly, that contestant was felled by the third question.
  • Missing Episode: The sizzle reel posted by the official YouTube channel consists of clips from the first five aired episodes...as well as a sixth that has never aired at any point. Said clips feature contestants named Frank & Naiah, and panelist Harland Williams making a joke about gorillas.
  • Real Song Theme Tune: Season 1 used Pharrell Williams' 2013 hit 'Happy'.
  • Replaced the Theme Tune: Starting in season 2, 'Happy' was replaced by an instrumental soundalike.
  • Rerelease Soundtrack: Originally, reruns of the first season retained 'Happy', but in 2021 those episodes were re-dubbed with the soundalike theme.
  • Series Hiatus: Aired reruns from May 2020 to October 2022, likely due to the COVID-19 Pandemic ravaging the world at the time. Sadly, regular panelist Louie Anderson passed away during the hiatus.
  • Similarly Named Works: Another game show with the same title aired in 1968. Despite having a VERY similar set layout, the two shows are played completely differently.
