Trivia
Christopher Lloyd and Jeff Conaway were told to repeat the "What does a yellow light mean?" joke until the audience stopped laughing. Marilu Henner and Tony Danza can be seen laughing out of character. Jeff Conaway was also cracking up during filming.

Goofs
Jim says his father's last name is Ignatowski. Taxi canon later established that Jim's father is Mr. Caldwell, and Jim adopted the name Ignatowski as his spiritual name, mistaken believing it translated as Star Child.
