The scene at the 'Episode dated 2 November 1998 (1998)' includes the complete cast of panelists for that week except for Fran Drescher, since this show's production used the opportunity to film the 'Maxwell Sheffield replacing Andrew Lloyd Webber' storyline for the episode.
Several guest stars appeared twice on the show, once playing a character and once as themselves. Rosie O'Donnell first played 'Cozette' (a cab driver) and later herself as the host of her talk show. Whoopi Goldberg, as a panelist herself, had previously played 'Edna' (a dog photographer and Sammy's niece).
Due to Whoopi Goldberg guest starring in this show, the title is a parody of the old Eddie Cantor song Making Whoopee! that was one of his standards and sung in the movie Whoopee! (1930).
Back at the pharmacy, Sylvia, Fran and Val are talking in front of a counter with several bottles of perfume on display. There are two identical ones with a translucent emerald green cap and dark yellow liquid inside. They appear to be Volupté by Oscar de la Renta, which was launched in 1992.
