When Al, Kelly and Bud arrive at "NBS Studios" in Hollywood there are a number of posters hanging on the lobby wall showing NBS's series line up. Ron Leavitt MWC's creator and executive producer, is pictured in almost all of these "series posters", including "The Homeless Detectives" and "Amos and Andrew" the series.
Series writer Larry Jacobson and co-executive producer Stacie Lipp are pictured in the "Me and the Shiksha" NBS TV series poster.
Many of the elements of Kelly's show are the same as or very similar to SNL's "Wayne's World" sketches from around the same time. The plot of the dirt-cheap public-access cable show getting picked up by a network and then retooled beyond recognition is essentially the same as the first Wayne's World (1992). Jon Lovitz, who plays the sleazy executive, was a regular on SNL, so this is not likely a coincidence.
Garth Ancier, who plays "Gig Fontaine", the leather-jacket-clad star of a series at NBS--the network that is to produce Kelly's show--was actually not an actor; he was the Head of Programming at Fox Television, the network on which "Married With Children" was running.
This episode was taped on November 1, 1991.
