• Features a shot of Catherine Keener whizzing a Frisbee at Edward Norton which is very similar to a shot in The War of the Roses (1989) which was also directed by Danny DeVito.
  
  
• Singer Henry Rollins auditioned for the part of Spinner. Rollins details the first audition with Danny DeVito on his spoken word performance DVD 'Henry Rollins: Up For It (2001)' , part of which consists of throwing a chair at DeVito.
  
  

• In the original script, the Smoochy costume was orange.
  
  
• Jim Carrey was attached to star at one point but eventually dropped out to do The Majestic (2001)
  
  
• In Sheldon's (Edward Norton's) house/apartment he has a picture of a rhino on his wall. He kept this picture and has it hanging on his wall in real life.
  
  
• When hosting _"The 78th Annual Academy Awards" (2006 TV special documentary)_ , Jon Stewart mentioned this movie as one of his few acting jobs. He said "Welcome to the Seventy-Eighth Annual Academy Awards... hosted by me... the fourth male lead in Death To Smoochy. Rent it."
  
  

• SPOILER: During the Ice Show, the Chinese writing that's shining on the ice when we see Spinner/Smoochy The Rhino lying dead, reads: "Dead Rhino".
  
  
• SPOILER: In the scene where Spinner gets dropped into the middle of the street, there's a puddle beside him. The Chinese character reflected in the puddle is the word for "death".
