Episode Quotes

Richard Nixon: I got a million slogans. Look at this one: The New Dick. Isn't that nice? Short, sweet, and everyone wants to see.
Pat Nixon: It's short and sweet but I don't think everybody wants to see it.

Walter Matthau: We'll be right back with the regular crap.

Walter Matthau: [about the Not Ready for Primetime Players] When they didn't laugh at my jokes I figured, because I'm not a dummy, I mean, I figured there were three possibilities. One: they don't understand the jokes, two: they heard the jokes before or three: they didn't think the joke's were funny. Now, none of these things make any sense: they're too smart to not understand the jokes, they're too young to have heard the jokes before and they're not paying me enough to think the jokes were not funny.

Trivia

No musical guest was scheduled for this episode. Instead, Garrett Morris sings "Dalla Sua Pace", an aria from the opera "Don Giovanni".
This was the last time The Bees sketch was performed. The cast had always hated the costumes.
