Did you know that John Wayne was offered the lead role in Blazing Saddles, but he turned it down? However, he did tell Mel Brooks how excited he was to see the movie!

Did you know the show, Curb Your Enthusiasm helped free a man from prison? An accused murderer was seen in the background of an episode and due to the show's filming time, it proved his innocence.

I have no clue what this one was about, but whoa!
