Phil Hartman was murdered by his wife 8 days after this episode first aired. This led to the character of Randy not being included in the follow-up episode Dr. Solomon's Traveling Alien Show (1998).
Phil Hartman, who plays Randy, also played Phillip in the episode Lonely Dick.
Jan Hooks and Phil Hartman were on Saturday Night Live together.
This is the first time in the series that we see Sally's bedroom.
Due to Phil Hartman's tragic murder, it was decided that his scenes be re-shot with a different actor playing a different character and it re-aired with the footage a week before the fourth season's premiere. (so it wouldn't be considered awkward or disrespectful).
