This movie came out a few months after Norm MacDonald was fired as the "Weekend Update" anchor on Il Saturday Night Live (1975) by NBC West Coast President, Don Ohlmeyer (reportedly because he didn't think Norm was funny). Because of this, Macdonald blasted the NBC exec during talk show appearances. Ohlmeyer retaliated by banning all advertisements of this movie from NBC. After two weeks, NBC president Bob Wright called off the ban, Wright did not oppose Ohlmeyer's original decision because he thought the commercials were only scheduled to appear during ''SNL". When it became clear that MGM's commercials were dropped from other NBC shows, Wright decided the situation had gone far enough and lifted the ban.
