Interesting Brooklyn 99 Trivia

Before you start the quiz, as true fans, I believe you might be interested in some facts about the series and its creation.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Pitch

The show was so promising that several networks chased after it! The pitch and the pilot received massive attention from several agents, which is a whopping success when many new shows struggle to grab air time anywhere.

Brooklyn 99 is just so good!

Gina Was Special

It's really a big deal when screenwriters create a character specifically for the actor. And Chelsea Peretti was honored with the tailored character of Gina. Just as the show depicts the life-long friendship between Jake and Gina, the actors portraying them grew up and worked together. So, the writers decided to take advantage of such a close relationship to build a similar one!

Plus, I just have to mention that Terry Jeffords was also highly inspired by the actor portraying the role. Thus, writers took many skills and characteristics of Terry Crews and transferred them to the detective in question!

Police Training

With all the hilarious jokes and light humor, it's easy to forget that the show is about police officers. And while all the actors are masters of comedy, they had to undergo specialized police training to correctly depict the more serious parts of episodes.

The whole main cast went through some series of boot camp training at the Glendale Police Department. Thus, remember that their actions are as close to real-life as possible!

Hot Damn Was Improvised!

Yes, one of the most iconic phrases of the show wasn't originally in the script. Instead, Andre Braugher just came up with it!
