Roger Ebert claimed on Twitter that this was the greatest tribute to Siskel and Ebert he had ever seen. Doug Walker printed off the page and framed it on a picture frame. It can be seen in Part 2 of the Animaniacs tribute and Walker made reference to it in his farewell tribute to Ebert.
The music playing during the tribute of Gene Siskel after he died is Carter Burwell's music from Fargo (1996). Fargo was chosen by both Siskel and Ebert as the best film of 1996 and Siskel was quoted as saying that it was the last great film he ever saw.
