MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: During the scene where Matt is trying to dissuade Harriet from posing for a lingerie shoot, the cactus centerpiece on the table between them varies between shots. It is at times stationary, at other times turning clockwise, and then turning counter-clockwise.
CONT: During the scene after the show in which Matt, Danny and Jordan are talking, the countdown timer shows that there are 6 days, 22 hours, 32 minutes, and 30 seconds remaining until the next show. However, later on, after Matt has let Ricky and Ron go, the countdown timer says that there are 6 days, 23 hours, 3 minutes and 54 seconds until the next show.

TRIVIA

The Guest Host and Musical Guest, not appearing on screen, was Jessica Simpson (I).
The ladies' dressing room contains a "Bartlett for President" poster, a reference to Sorkin's previous show, "The West Wing" (1999). The poster appears about 4 minutes from the end of the next-to-last segment. Simon and Tom are trying to talk Harriet out of posing. She crosses to a small gallery area to wash her hands. The camera switches to show Simon from behind in the right foreground, Harriet in the background. The poster appears on the wall at the far right of the screen for about four seconds.
