Staff writer Terry Sweeney appears as an extra in the opening sketch. He would join the cast in the 11th season. Wearing dance clothing and appearing with Ronald and Nancy Reagan in the Oval Office, Sweeney is clearly playing Ron Reagan Jr, who studied ballet for a several years. There is even a picture in the background of Charles Rocket (as Reagan Sr.) holding up Sweeney (in the same dance clothes), striking a ballet pose.
Puppeteer Marc Weiner appears uncredited on "Weekend Update" as puppet boxer Rocko Weineretto. Charles Rocket complained to executive producer Jean Doumanian about having to perform with a puppet. Joe Piscopo quipped that Rocket was jealous that the puppet got more laughs than he did.
This episode contains an encore presentation of the Claymation film New York by C.F. Bressler, which originally appeared on a season 3 episode.
