This was the last episode of the series to be broadcast in black and white, and the last to be produced at 'CBS Studio 52'. Coincidentally, Joey Bishop appeared in the first broadcast from this studio on June 2, 1960. The show would move to 'CBS Studio 50' for its final season, which later became known as the 'Ed Sullivan Theater'.
Joey Bishop's western comedy 'Texas Across the River (1966)', which had begun filming in February, was about to be released the following month, on October 26, 1966, in Houston, Texas. Bishop was currently filming 'Who's Minding the Mint? (1967)'.
This was Joey Bishop's final appearance on the show (prerecorded) after a total of 26 credits: 22 times as a guest panelist, three times as a 'mystery guest', and one cameo appearance on 'Bob Hope and Lucille Ball (1963)'.
