Madonna stumbles over saying "Live from New York". Consequently, it is replaced with the dress rehearsal version in reruns.

At the end of her performance, Madonna tears up a photograph of Joey Buttafuoco and shouts "Fight the real enemy!", an obvious parody of the Sinead O'Connor incident earlier in the season.

Harvey Keitel's character name "Bob Van Ry" is actually the name of SNL's stage manager at the time.
