This episode had first been performed live at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater on November 19, 2007, to benefit the show's production assistants in the wake of the Writers' Guild strike, complete with mock commercials. Paula Pell played C.C. instead of Edie Falco. The amount of fun they had doing it led to Live Show (2010).
The season 2 DVD contains the stage read through of this episode recorded at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre 3 weeks before it was aired.
Frank's hats read "Atlantis Lifeguard", "Harvard", "Kayfabe" and "Komurshl".
