Trivia:

At the live taping of this episode, Karen says this to her manicurist: "Careful with those tips, I want 'em nice and pointy in case I have to stab someone in the neck." The original script had Karen referring to her manicurist as "Miss Saigon", which is a cultural reference to the stereotype that many Vietnamese-American women work as manicurists. It was left out of the final edit.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Will is explaining to Grace why Higgins and Doolittle (in My Fair Lady (1964)) were gay. He says that two grown men dressing Audrey Hepburn in Edith Head gowns made them gay. Except that she didn't do the gowns for that move, they were done by Cecil Beaton.
