MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: The magazine that Jenna holds up of Tracy walking naked through Laguardia misspells his name on the cover by adding an 'e' to make it "Tracey Jordan".
FAKE: When Alec Baldwin's character is being quizzed on his employees' names, he is really being shown the same picture over and over.

TRIVIA

When Jack is on the phone, he speaks German.
Frank's trucker hat says "Done Deal."
When being drilled on who various people are, Jack identifies Heidi Klum but doesn't know who the next card is and simply says "the guy that sleeps with Heidi Klum". It was presumably a photograph of her husband, British soul singer Seal.
In the scene where Tracy confronts a member of the crew for looking at him. The uncredited crew member is Jeff Richmond (II). Richmond is Tina Fey's husband. He is listed as a producer in the credits along with writing the music for the show.
