Interesting facts

Tomorrow Night is a 1998 American absurdist comedy film written and directed by Louis C.K. and starring Chuck Sklar, Martha Greenhouse, J. B. Smoove, and Rick Shapiro. Many other comedians and comedy actors appear in the film, such as Steve Carell, Wanda Sykes, Amy Poehler, and Conan O'Brien.

Production

Tomorrow Night began production on a budget of $20,000, financed by Louis C.K.'s earnings as a television comedy writer on HBO's The Chris Rock Show and ABC's The Dana Carvey Show. On the first day of shooting, a crew member used the wrong type of film stock in the camera, and various other problems caused the first three days' footage to be unusable.

In April 1997, C.K. found himself running out of money to complete production. On April 9, 1997, C.K. appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, showed a clip of Tomorrow Night, and made a "tongue-in-cheek entreaty for funds" to finish the film. C.K.'s friends Jon Stewart, Denis Leary, Brett Butler, Spike Feresten, Chris Rock lent him money to help finish the project, which ended up costing around $180,000 in total.

Before he was finishing with the editing process, C.K. appeared on Oddville, MTV on September 2, 1997, to discuss the upcoming film.
