The series sponsor Philip Morris is referenced- there is one cigarette left in a pack, which Lucy splits and says 'I'll have Philip....You can have Morris!'
The cover of LOOK magazine that Lucy appears on is the August 1951 issue. The three headliners on the right side of Pope Pius, the B-47 jet and of Gaylord Hauser are factual. Lucy's dubbed photo is covering the cover photo of the 3 Universal starlets of 1951.
Ricky is reading the October 21, 1951 edition of The New York Times. This episode was filmed four days later.
