Bert Kreischer's behind-the-scenes feature was well received, like "Razzle Dazzle," which had fans crying from laughter. A fan said, "That ending made me tear up. So nice to see how humble he still is," another agreed, Thank you for the razzle behind the dazzle. It shows even more how hard you work."

LeeAnn Kreischer, who flew out to be with her husband during filming, commented on the authenticity of material like "The Escape Room" and "Baby Walrus, " "All that stuff happened. He just makes it so interesting… and juicy in the telling of it."

Bert Kreischer's Daughters Also Play an Important Role in His Standup Shows

Some revelations of the behind-the-scenes footage were surprising. For instance, how Bert paid a fortune out of his pocket in addition to what Netflix gave them towards the production.

Georgia Kreischer is her dad's "Jiminy Cricket."

Or how he loved the shirt that he rips off at the start of the show so much, he joked about keeping it on, and David Letterman's inspiring voice note. But, seeing Bert chat with his daughter, Ila Grace Kreischer, and Shirley the cat backstage over video call was very much expected from him.

Bert has always mined his family for material. He told The Hollywood Reporter in February 2023 that his younger daughter "has become hyper-aware of making sure she's represented the way she wants to be represented."

He allowed Ila Grace to remove any jokes involving her that she did not like from "Razzle Dazzle." He can only remember her using this veto power for one bit; she said the story was a secret.

Georgia Kreischer is her dad's "Jiminy Cricket." He did not realize how she highlighted the funny things that happened around the house until she went away to college. Bert Kreischer once answered a random call from Georgia on stage, and the audience "went nuts."

She went on to tell a version of the "Escape Room" story that got to the real heart of its funniness; they only went to see their dad have a panic attack. After the gig, the standup instructed a crew member, "Grab a recording of that; that's how I write this story.'"
