a.		In the "Making of" documentary on the 2005 DVD release of A Face in the Crowd, Andy Griffith says that the inspiration for way that Marcia reveals Rhodes hypocrisy (by broadcasting his true feelings about his audience after he believes the sound has been cut off) came from the famed "Uncle Don incident," in which "Uncle" Don Carney, a longtime childrens radio host, was supposed to have been broadcast saying "there, that oughta hold the little bastards" into a live microphone after he thought it had already been turned off.
