Trivia
In his appearance on The George Lucas Talk Show, Brian Henson and others associated with the show noted that Michelle Pfeiffer kindly and graciously stepped in as their first guest after another unnamed female celebrity dropped out. They apparently had sets built specifically for the other star, who had sent word that she was indisposed. She was seen soon after attending a movie premiere, totally well.

Goofs
Clifford mentions that special guest Michelle Pfieffer worked with the Muppets in 1975, appearing on a game show called "Muppet Matchup". In the clip, Kermit introduces Michelle as an aspiring "Charlie's Angel". That show didn't premiere until 1976.

Quotes
Muppet Elvis 1: [declaration of Independence spoof] Say, there, George Washington.
Muppet Elvis 2: What's up there, Thomas Jefferson?
Muppet Elvis 1: Well, I was just wondering if you had anymore of that there cherry pie left?
Muppet Elvis 2: I cannot tell a lie. I ate the whole thang.
Muppet Elvis 1: Whoooooa. Mercy.
