The scene can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aT3Ii3hWM0|here]]. (Source: [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9487632/trivia/?item=tr4847871&ref_=ext_shr_lnk|IMDb]]) * When Midge and Lenny meet up at the bar, before going to the filming of Miami After Dark, a fan walks up to Lenny, calling him "Mr. Bruce." Lenny responds by telling the fan that "Mr. Bruce is my mother." Amy Sherman-Palladino (creator/producer/director of the show) knew Sally Marr, who was the real Lenny Bruce's mother. The line is a reference to a recurring inside joke that she had - whenever anyone learned who she was, she'd call herself "Mr. Bruce." (Source: [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9487632/trivia/?item=tr6169336&ref_=ext_shr_lnk|IMDb]]) * The "Miami After Dark," show with the pipe smoking, preppy host [[Brye Adler]], is a play on Playboy After Dark (1969-1970), hosted by Hugh Hefner. While Lenny Bruce was never on "Playboy After Dark", he was on an earlier, less known show hosted by Hugh Hefner called Playboy's Penthouse (1959-1961). The episode can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh09K-4R69I|here]]. (Source: [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9487632/trivia/?item=tr4867351&ref_=ext_shr_lnk|IMDb]]) * The episode won 3 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Period and/or Character Makeup (Non-Prosthetic), Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (One Hour) and Outstanding Music Supervision. (Source: [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9487632/trivia/?item=tr5338125&ref_=ext_shr_lnk|IMDb]]) * The episode of the game show, "To Tell the Truth" that Zelda and Shirley are watching aired on 11/21/60 and featured Judy Delp, the 1960 national baton twirling champion.
