I think we can blame June's unawareness of the face switching premise squarely on Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Claire. Here is a transcript excerpt from HDTGM episode #34 "Pluto Nash"
JUNE: You saw two Eddie Murphys and what did you think at that point? When Murph on Murph—the Murph on Murph fight broke out.
PAUL: You thought it was a thinner, Nuttier Professor.
JESSICA: I thought that Rex Carter had somehow become—gotten into the brain of the Eddie Murphy, so that he—the whole time he was looking to kill himself.
JASON: His own--As himself or as Rex Carter?
JESSICA: No, he—I don’t know! I thought Rex became Eddie Murphy.
JUNE: Basically what I’m understanding is at some point in that last scene, you thought Bad Eddie Murphy was going to like unzip himself and be Alec Baldwin.
JESSICA: Yes, yes, yes. I thought he was living with inside of him.
LENNON: Like Face/Off.
JUNE: “Living with inside of him!”
So there you have it, June was clearly misled a few years back.
If you use this for the minsode, please mention that I love Chelsea Steiner with all my heart! Thanks for all the free entertainment,
