Trivia

• Darrell Hammond and Maya Rudolph do not appear in this episode, Rudolph is absent because she was on maternity leave while Hammond was absent for an unspecified reason, they both are still credited however.
• The cartoon "The 700 Gang" was originally supposed to be part of the Darwin cartoon aired later in the episode however the Hardball sketch which would've been the cold opening died at dress rehearsal, as such "The 700 Gang" was taken out of the Darwin cartoon and used as the cold opening instead. This is the first and only time a cartoon is used as the cold opening.
• This is the 2nd appearance of Deep House Dish.
• This is the 1st appearance of Mike & Lexi.
