Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Gordy subplot was inspired by real incidents of trained animal violence on set, including a 2009 chimp attack. Peele filmed the sitcom sequence like an actual '90s multi-cam show complete with period-accurate cameras.
The Haywood family claim — 'the only Black-owned horse trainers in Hollywood' — references real erased history: the Black jockey in Eadweard Muybridge's 1878 'Sallie Gardner at a Gallop,' technically the first motion picture ever made.
