The troupe took their name from a line that comedian Sid Caesar always said after telling a joke: "I got that one from the kids in the hall" (referring to the aspiring joke writers always hanging around outside his office).
The show's theme music, performed by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, is entitled "Having an Average Weekend."
For the Dr Seuss Bible sketch the crew refused to build the Crucifixion Machine so the Kids built it themselves.
Kurt Cobain, the late lead singer of Nirvana, was a big "Kids in the Hall" fan and good friends with Scott Thompson. Following his death, his Seattle managers sent Scott a picture of Kurt when he was seven years old. Scott, as Buddy Cole, burned this picture on the final episode of "Kids in the Hall," during the "Buddy's Bar Closes" sketch.
