When the janitor says "I worked with Harrison Ford" is one of the few times in which he tells the truth in the whole show. He really acted in The Fugitive (1993) like we see in this episode and later he worked again with Harrison Ford in a small scene in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull (2008)
The gag involving JD wearing a bold cap and black make-up to look like Turk is excised on streaming platforms as of 2021.
