TRIVIA

The scene when Jack brings Liz a diamond necklace to wear and snaps the box on her fingers refers to an unscripted scene in Pretty Woman (1990) where Richard Gere brings Julia Roberts (I) (also wearing a red dress) a diamond necklace and snaps it on her fingers causing her to laugh out loud. In the scene in "30 Rock" (2006), however, instead of laughing out loud Liz begins swearing that her fingers were hurt.
When Liz answers "Yeah" in German, she actually says some random German words.
Frank's trucker hat reads "High Score."
