The scene where Will goes back stage to apologize to Oprah is cut when the episode is aired in syndication. (edit) The theme music Carlton danced to backstage was the theme music used for the show in 1992-1993. (edit)

Vivian: Hilary, you are not to have men in the pool house.
Carlton: I hate to tell tales out of school, but Trevor keeps a make-up case there.
Hilary: THAT'S A LIE!
Carlton: IS NOT!
Hilary: STAND ON A CHAIR AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE! (edit) Vivian: What is Trevor doing in the poolhouse?!
Will: Yes Hilary, what is Trevor doing in the poolhouse?! (edit) Hilary: Oprah, believe me, my dad is a great guy. When I lost my job and he kicked me out of the house, he let me live out back.
Oprah: He kicked you out of the house?
Carlton: Well he didn't actually kick her out of the house. He just changed all the locks and told her she didn't live there anymore. (edit) Philip: My god is that Will?
Vivian (sarcastically): No, Phil, it's Richard Nixon in a Will mask
Carlton: No, Mom, I think that's really Will! (edit) Howard Marshall: And, might I add, young man, nice Leslie Uggams! (edit)

Goof: When Will first comes into the audience for the The Oprah Winfrey Show , he takes an aisle seat. Later on, when asked again for a question by Oprah, he's seen sitting in a group of chairs isolated in the front row, where he's sitting in the middle. (edit)

The title of this episode is an allusion to the 1935 movie titled, A Night at the Opera starring Groucho Marx. (edit) Howard Marshall: And, might I add, young man, nice Leslie Uggams !
Leslie Uggams is an actress and singer best known for her work in Roots and All My Children . She also had her own show, The Leslie Uggams Show and appeared on High Rollers (a game show) for 6 years. (edit)
