Jennifer Coolidge guest starred as Amanda in this episode. She later played Joey's agent, Bobby, in the spin off series Joey (2004).
The scene where Amanda says "I feel like a perfect arse" had to be shot several times because Lisa Kudrow couldn't stop laughing everytime Jennifer Coolidge said the line.
This is the second time Rachel has had a meal no one paid for. The first one was during lunch with Chandler in The One with All the Cheesecakes (2001).
This is the first episode to not feature Charlie since she was introduced in "The One With the Soap Opera Party" (S9E20).
This is the 2nd time Ross has a separate plot from the Joey-Rachel romantic plot twist. The 1st time was TOW the Tea Leaves.
