Trivia[]
- Former Saturday Night Live cast member Jay Mohr is credited for voicing Christopher Walken (the real Christopher Walken was originally cast for that role, but was replaced due to a pay dispute). Mohr, during his short stint on SNL in the mid-1990s, was known for his Christopher Walken impression, while Walken himself hosted SNL seven times: 1990 (during the 15th [1989-1990] season), 1992 (during the 18th [1992-1993] season), 1996 (during the 21st [1995-1996] season), 2000 (during the 25th [1999-2000] season), 2001 (during the 26th [2000-2001] season), 2003 (during the 28th [2002-2003] season), and 2008 (during the 33rd [2007-2008] season).
- Originally, Homer was supposed to discover that he had a daughter from another woman out of wedlock. However, Al Jean didn't like the idea (and, much like Principal Skinner being Armin Tamazarian in "The Principal and the Pauper", would have caught the ire of fans and critics for messing with show and character continuity) and changed it to Krusty the Clown (who, coincidentally, was supposed to be Homer's secret identity to show that Bart cared more about Krusty the Clown than he did his own father, but was similarly rejected for causing continuity issues) being Sophie's long-lost father.
