The film explores themes like American media culture as well as celebrity worship. According to reports, the production of the film began in June 1981 in New York so that the then-forthcoming writers’ strike can be avoided.

The movie had a budget of $19 million, however it only managed to gross $ 2.5 million. The King of Comedy marks the final collaboration between Jerry Lewis and 20th Century Fox.
