Ed Warren and his ''Face to Face'' show are parodies of actual TV interviewer Edward R. Murrow and his 1950s TV program ''Person to Person.''
The TV host Ed Warren is parodied off of real-life host Edward R. Murrow. The actor who played Warren, a master imitator, studied tapes of Murrow all weekend long, and the likeness he presented during filming was uncanny.
This episode is sometimes credited as Face to Face.
