Kiefer Sutherland appeared on The Tonight Show on November 12, and forgetfully gave away the entire ending of this episode.
Up to this point, Fox had been showing repeats of each episode on Friday evenings at 9:00 P.M. in an effort to allow viewers to catch up on missed programs. Fox decided to stop the re-runs due to bad ratings, though they continued to rebroadcast each week's episode on their cable outlet, F-X.
The new IT guy is called Milo Pressman (played by Eric Balfour). In the movie Stand By Me (1986), also starring Kiefer Sutherland, a scrap yard owner appears bearing the same name.
The episode won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Single Camera Picture Editing for a Series.
