TRIVIA

Richard Stahl, who plays Wayne R. Coe in this episode, was originally a member of the Committee, a comedy troupe that Howard Hesseman once belonged to. Many of Hesseman's former Committee colleagues have appeared in a handful of other WKRP episodes, including Hamilton Camp, Garry Goodrow ("Hold Up"), Larry Hankin ("Hotel Oceanview"), Ruth Silvera ("Til Debt Do Us Part") and John Brent ("Straight from the Heart"). (A stand-up comedy box set from Rhino Records features a Committee recording in which Howard Hesseman describes the Vietnam War like a play-by-play sportscaster.)
