Fred Newman appears as a jester. Most likely because he was in the library segments, which meant he was spending more time with that, there's no Fred Says: squeak segment in this episode.
Roma Downey was acting as Monica on "Touched by an Angel" at the time of this television guest appearance.
Anthony Asbury makes a live appearance in this episode as "Sir Anthony of Asbury".
