*** Made into a brief CastingGag in the ''Night Vale'' / ''ThrillingAdventureHour'' crossover, where Quinn does the voice of recurring ''TAH'' character Pemily Stalwark. A bit into the second act, she is [[spoiler:erased from existence when her past is altered and she fades away. When her timeline is restored and she returns, she remembers "so many random numbers" and sings a few lines from [[Creator/KatyPerry Katy Perry's]] song "Roar", which Fey hollered during one of her broadcasts.]]

Marron debuted in the recorded performance of "Condos".
