As you may have guessed I'm looking at some behind the scenes stuff for TD as a whole. Here's some more relevant RR stuff:


 * Don originally started off with a much different design and was known as Chadley Chizzleton, which went with his original basis of Ron Burgundy.
 * Lorenzo used to be known as Keifer, then Chad, and Chet was known as Keith.
 * Rock started out as Mike, then Roach, while Spuds started out as Corky than Sparky.
 * MacArthur started out as Marsha and Sanders was known as Beth.
 * The Geniuses (Mary & Ellody) were originally known as the AV Club.
 * The Surfer Dudes (Geoff & Brody) were originally known as The Bromance Bros. Brody also used to be known as Bro.
 * The Skaters (Jacques & Josee) started out as siblings.
 * The Fashion Bloggers (Tom & Jen) started out as The BFF's and were the producer's assistants.
 * While The Tennis Rivals (Gerry & Pete) have a Friendly Rivalry with one another, they started out as mortal enemies who hated each other.
 * Leonard from Pahkitew Island was picked at the last minute because they wanted a magician character but figured "he was just as good" as well as to save money on production. This also lead to Tammy's creation as the magician had to be paired up with an assistant.
 * Besides the aforementioned magician and his assistant, a few other teams were considered but ultimately cut. These included an elderly couple in their nineties, a team of Pranksters, a team of Extreme Girls who were obsessed with over the top reality TV, and a team of nerds.
