FX was confused by Glover's plan to make an episode centered around Justin Bieber, thinking at first that he wanted to cast the real Bieber in the part. The show's motivation for casting a young black actor as the white Canadian singer was two-fold. One part was to just give a black actor the chance to play a role he'd never get cast in otherwise; the other was to explore how Bieber's often controversial behavior (and the public's reaction to it) played differently when he wasn't Caucasian anymore.
The fake Justin Bieber song was written and performed by Donald Glover himself.
Atlanta R&B artist Lloyd makes an appearance during the celebrity all-star game.
While Earnest is getting a drink from the bar, one of the wine bottles is titled "Joshua Tree." This episode was aired the same day that Donald Glover announced a concert in Joshua Tree (located in California).
