Trivia

 * Larry King said that his show was on in 220 countries, but Bobo countered that there were only 191 countries. Bobo was, in fact, correct; at the time the episode aired, there were only 191 countries in the world.


 * Larry King refers to the show as "The Muppet Show".


 * This is the first episode of Muppets Tonight that Fozzie Bear and Sam the Eagle appeared in. It also features the first appearances of Johnny Fiama, and Sal Minella. Bobo the Bear, though seen earlier, is properly introduced in this episode.


 * When Bobo tosses Sal out of the building, Johnny comments, "That is one nutty way to stop a cab." It must be: Gonzo did the same thing in The Great Muppet Caper.


 * This episode was production number 104.


 * Actor Johnny Depp was mentioned as being on Bobo's list.


 * Sal makes references to Yogi Bear and Smokey.
