In the history segment from our Patreon-only episode about The Truman Show, Matt and Laci cover:

How The Truman Show started as a much darker script by Andrew Niccol about an alcoholic, philandering New Yorker.
When director Peter Weir came aboard he had a few notes—like, why would this show be so popular if it's about a depressing, unlikable cheater?
Jim Carrey based his performance on his dad, and was at a level of fame in 1998 that he could whole-heartedly understand a man who is literally the center of the universe.
