- Keaton gets his job back at the end with the other two guys after it turns out Jeffrey Tambor's character was fudging numbers, yet Tambor is not fired; the cause and effect of sales falling after Jack left makes no sense and the whole resolution is incoherent, when Jack should demand that Tambor be out.
- Jeffrey Tambor was this exact character for seven straight years, on Three's Company and The Ropers and in five movies of the era, so it was amazing when he was hired as Hank on Larry Sanders; sitcoms then would bring an actor back as a lawyer and eight episodes later as a doctor.
