[edit] The Show
- Opening Phone Call: "Hi, Jay, I'm the winner of the Jay Sherman look-alike Contest! Well, one of my heads is."

- Closing Theatre Shot: "But I have nowhere to go..."
[edit] Behind the Scenes
- Testing: The producers of the series convinced ABC to show this episode to test audiences in an attempt to keep them from cancelling the series, certain that they've fixed all the things that audiences didn't like. The episode did test better, but infinitesimally so.
- Original Song: The producers originally intended to use an unnamed Cat Stevens song during the montage of Jay's date with Doris, but they weren't able to clear the song. Additionally, Jon Lovitz kept changing the lyrics to be about how Al Jean and Mike Reiss are gay.
