C.K. improvised the line "What about Obama?". This became a recurring line in the third season.
The scene in the realtor office was based on a real-life experience of Louis C.K.'s. He once went to a realtor who just threw him keys and told him to look at an apartment with tenants still living in it.
This episode was originally intended to be the first episode of the season.
In the realtor office, a seated young man with glasses can briefly be seen. A scene was filmed with this young man having an argument with the realtor but it was deleted. He is credited as "Young East Village Dude".
