This is the last episode of "NewsRadio (1995)" to feature Phil Hartman (Bill McNeal). Between Seasons 4 and 5, he was killed by his wife.
Vicki Lewis did not appear in this episode because she was in Canada working on the film Pushing Tin (1999). Her name does not appear in the opening credits as a regular cast member because this episode had special credits with only the cast members who appeared in the episode and with the cast photos printed in sepia tones.
The episode won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Costuming for a Series.
The first and only episode of NewsRadio that does not use the main opening theme music.
When Dave speaks into the system communicator to Joe and Joe asks who it is, Dave replies it is himself. Joe says, "Dave's not here, man." This is a quote from a famous Cheech And Chong skit.
