Trivia / Russell Howard's Good News

• Corpsing: While Russell has a script and autocue at hand, it's not uncommon for him to break, and accidentally go laughing at his own jokes, in which he'll either corpse pretty hard, or continue the joke momentarily to get more laughs.
• On-Set Injury: Russell Howard was actually injured during filming after absent-mindedly doing a press-up on a breakable stool. Russell broke his hand (specifically one of his fingers) and had to receive first aid. The next episode he appeared in a cast and saw it as a very stupid thing to do.
• Real Song Theme Tune: Good News both begins and ends with an abridged version of Kasabian's "Fast Fuse". When it moved over to Sky 1 and became the Howard Hour, it was replaced by their more recent single "Ill Ray (The King)".
