A scene filmed for the beginning of the show was edited out due to time constraints. Set in the office, it involved Harry fretting about paying the bills. Because of this, Gale Gordon does not appear in this show. Rather than waste a good scene, it is re-staged in "Lucy Gives Eddie Albert the Old Song and Dance".
The door to Steve Lawrence's suite has trouble closing. In Michael Stern's book "I Had A Ball" he recounts that it didn't close properly for Lawrence and Ball called cut to do the entrance again. At the end of the show, Eydie enters and immediately poses with her back against the door to assure that it stays closed.
In his book, "I Had A Ball: My Friendship with Lucille Ball", author Michael Z. Stern recounts attending the filming of this show on his twelfth birthday and then going backstage to meet Ball.
Lucille takes an opportunity to plug her upcoming movie "Mame" by singing a bit of "If He Walked Into My Life" while typing. Coincidentally, Eydie Gormé recorded the song in 1966. It won her a Grammy Award. The song was written by Jerry Herman for the 1966 Broadway musical.
Steve says it will take more than a yellow ribbon tied around an old oak tree to get him back with Eydie. This is a reference to the song "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree" written by Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown in early 1973. It was a number one hit for Tony Orlando and Dawn.
