During the filming of this episode, Ellie Kemper was pregnant.
During the roller-coaster ride, Lori Ann Schmidt (Lisa Kudrow) told Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) that she was 17 when she had Kimmy. In real life, Lisa Kudrow is about 17 years older than than Ellie Kemper.
When Titus is panicking in the car, he references the Little Mermaid. Tituss Burgess played Sebastian in The Little Mermaid on Broadway in 2007.
There is a real Titusville, Florida, where the space center is the main attraction.
The bus line that is supposed to take Titus to Florida is called "Jerome Bettis Lines". Jerome Bettis was a popular NFL halfback who earned the nickname "the bus" during his tenure.
Lillian sits on her stoop drinking an "Old Spanish," a drink made up of one part red wine and one part tonic water, served with olives. Cooter Burger (Matthew Broderick) made this drink up on an episode of 30 Rock. It was also referenced in an episode of Mad Men. Tina Fey produced and stars in both 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, while Jon Hamm stars in both Mad Men and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
As Lillian is reading Kimmy's mail, she mentions that "Leah Remini joined Gretchen's church." In a previous episode, Kimmy challenged Gretchen to form her own cult, so Gretchen is clearly recruiting more high-profile followers if she landed celebrity Leah Remini, who in real life has gained notoriety as a member of the Church of Scientology who left the "church" and then repeatedly attempted to expose the organization as a cult that abuses and controls its members.
When a passerby picks up Lillian's Old Spanish can and disposes of it in a recycling bin, she stands silently, looking on as a single tear runs down her cheek. This is a reversal of the popular anti-littering captain of the late 70s that featured a Native American crying as litter was strewn about at his feet. (In an earlier episode, Jacqueline's Native American father also references this commercial, saying he doesn't want to visit New York because "their trash makes me cry.")
"Bobby" Durst makes another appearance, in drag, as "Robertina" Durst. The real Robert Durst posed as a woman named Dorothy Ciner while hiding out during the murder investigation in which he has remained the prime suspect.
In this episode, Ian Roberts has a guest appearance as an astronaut. Roberts often played an astronaut on the show Upright Citizens Brigade (1998), as part of a recurring sub-plot involving prejudice against astronauts.
When Russ Snyder enters Jacqueline's party, he's wearing a women's pantsuit due to his clothes being damaged. In "Arrested Development" (2003), Tobias Fünke regularly wears women's clothing, supposedly unaware they aren't made for men. Both characters are played by David Cross.
The "Kennedy Space Center" Titus walks into was actually filmed in the rotunda to the New York Hall of Science in Queens, NY.
In the season 1 episode "Kimmy Is Bad At Math", Kimmy and Dong make multiple references to the show "Friends." In this episode, Kimmy's mom is played by Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe on "Friends."
