A producer and reporter from "Wake up Chicago" come into the diner wanting to do a "Man-on-the-Street" interview about the diner owners - to which Roseanne, Jackie, and Leon readily, and eagerly agree. Leon stumbles through his interview nervously, like a deer caught in headlights. Jackie babbles through hers like a hyper manic who's been off her medication. But Roseanne nails her interview, and gets a job offer to do a one-minute spot on the air - where Roseanne gets to speak her mind about whatever she wants. God help TV.

Bob Fuller plays numerous minor roles over the course of the series. In this episode he plays the part of a make-up artist. His other roles are as follows:
- 8.12 Roseanne: The Thrilla near the Vanilla Extract (1996) (grocery clerk)
- 8.17 Roseanne: We're Going to Disney World (1996) (airline steward)

This episode was meant to lay the groundwork for the next (and final) season's original story arc, where Roseanne Conner would find an outlet doing stand up comedy (mirroring Roseanne Barr's real life of going from housewife to famous comedienne). By the time the ninth season was being written, the comic storyline was abandoned in favor of having the Conner family win the lottery.
