The episode won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Editing for a Series - Multi-Camera Production.
The celebrity caller in this episode is Timothy Leary (Hank) who calls in to complain about an overeating disorder.
Hank, a caller to Frasier's show, complains, "So, Dr. Crane, I just don't know what I'm going to do about my weight. I've tried diet after diet, from the 'milkshakes three times a day' to that scary bald-headed lady on TV." This is a reference to motivational speaker and nutritionist Susan Powter, who ran weight-loss infomercials in the '90s with the tag line, "Stop the Insanity!" (BTW, she wasn't really bald--she had close-cropped hair that she dyed white.)
Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) suggests to Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) that she should keep her "dial tuned to KACL for Gil Chesterton's (Edward Hibbert) "Restaurant Beat" when Lilith says she has no dinner plans. This is the first time we learn the title of Gil's show, but Gil himself will not be seen for the first time until the season 1 episode "Frasier Crane's Day Off".
Lilith reads from Frasier's letter: ""As long as we have love, love will keep us together." Aside from the shameless pilfering from the Captain and Tenille, I was moved by your entreaty." Captain and Tenille (Daryl Dragon and Toni Tenille) were a husband/wife music group that had a #1 hit in 1975 written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield entitled, "Love Will Keep Us Together."
