• Table read date: Unknown.
• The title is a reference to the 1991 Queen song The Show Must Go On.
• This episode aired on cast member Larry Murphy's 51st birthday.
• Despite having an Irish-theme in the subplot this episode is not a St. Patrick's Day-themed episode but incidentally was the last to air before St. Patrick's Day in 2023.

• Slightly younger versions of Louise's schoolmates can be seen during the flashbacks. The most notable are Regular Sized Rudy, Andy and Ollie Pesto, Harley, Hogarth Haber, Large Tommy, and Wayne, who are all seen several times throughout the montage.
• The flag Teddy puts up in the restaurant is not the flag of Ireland but the flag of Côte d'Ivoire turned upside down.
