Trivia[]
- Cast members Chris Parnell and Maya Rudolph do not appear in this episode. Parnell doesn't appear because he was filming the pilot episode for his failed sitcom Thick and Thin, Rudolph does not appear because she was on maternity leave. Parnell is once again removed from the opening montage to reflect this, but Rudolph was still credited.
- Tina Fey returns with this episode.
- With this episode Rachel Dratch surpasses her former castmates Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon as the longest serving female cast member.
- Former Jean Doumanian era cast member Charles Rocket committed suicide the week before this episode aired. A photo of him along with the caption 1949-2005 is shown at the end of Weekend Update in his memory.
- This is the 4th and final appearance of Abe Scheinwald.
