!!This episode contains examples of:

* BaitAndSwitch: Dana assumes Sam will go along with Jordan's team having editorial approval of the interview, because he'll do anything for ratings, but when Isaac asks if they're that desperate, Sam shakes his head.
* ContinuityNod: Sally tells Sam how she slept with [[Recap/SportsNightS01E16Sally Casey and Gordon]].
* DoNotCallMePaul: Dan wants to be known as "Daniel" now, not "Dan".
* HeadDesk: Dana's reaction when Natalie talks about how much she idolized Dorothy Hamill while they're prepping the Jordan interview.
* ItsWhatIDo: Casey ends up being himself in front of Charlie's class by announcing highlights of their games during recess. but it's PlayedForLaughs at first:
-->'''Casey:''' I did what I do, Dan. I did what I do.
-->'''Dan:''' [[DeadpanSnarker You screwed up your romantic life in front of fifth graders?]]
* SeinfeldianConversation: When Dana goes to talk to Isaac about the Jordan interview, Isaac starts talking about living creatures in space.
* ShoutOut: Casey says a girl in Charlie's class he interviewed about jacks came off like MuhammadAli.
-->'''Dana:''' I'm looking for ways to kill you, you know.
-->'''Sam:''' Dana, I have been through alcohol, marriage, and network television. If you want to kill me, you're gonna need some [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Kryptonite]].
** ShoutOutToShakespeare: When Sam sends word to Dana that he needs to see her immediately and to leave her meeting, she tells Kim to tell Sam they're not in ''Theatre/TamingOfTheShrew'':
-->'''Dana:''' Petruchio makes a bet with his friends. They send for their wives and bet which one will come fastest at their command. See, you don't know everything. It's a beautiful scene, by the way, with a glorious speech from Kate. "Such small payment for so great a debt."
-->'''Sam:''' "Too little payment for so great a debt."
-->'''Dana:''' [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure I thought you said you didn't know the reference.]]
-->'''Sam:''' [[DefiedTrope I just needed you to get your ass in here]]
