With Tracy acting even crazier than normal, Liz struggles to get him his medication before his appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Meanwhile, Liz is planning to break up with Dennis again, Jenna is jealous that Tracy is getting all the attention, and Jack wants Liz to come up with a zinger for him to use at a fundraiser he's attending.
Tropes present in this episode:
- All for Nothing: The moment Tracy gets onto the Conan set, and it seems like it's going to turn into a disaster with how weird he's acting, the second he sits down on the couch, he passes out. And considering how the last time Tracy was on, he tried to stab him, Conan views this as a success.Conan O'Brien: ...and, he's asleep. Which, uh, is okay, 'cause at least he didn't murder me. Uh, we'll take a break, and, uh, Tracy Jordan, everybody.
- As Himself: Conan O'Brien, of course.
- Crosscast Role: Tracy's "blue man" is played by Rachel Dratch.
- The Cuckoolander Was Right: Turns out Tracy's doctor really is named, "Dr. Spaceman." The doctor pronounces it, "Spah-CHEM-in," however.
- Gone Horribly Wrong: The last time Tracy was on Conan, he started doing a "stabbing robot" bit, and tried to stab Conan for real.Conan O'Brien: You know my first guest tonight from his numerous hit movies, including "President Homeboy" and "Honky Grandma Be Trippin'". Or you may know him from his last appearance on this show, when he tried to stab me in the face.
- Hallucinations: Tracy hallucinates a "blue man" taunting him. At the end, Liz sees the "blue man" too.
- Home Nudist: Tracy walks around naked at home, "to remind my oldest son who's still got the biggest ding-dong."
- Running Gag: Liz never getting to eat anything.
- Strange Minds Think Alike: Jack is trying to come up with a joke to open an executive dinner speech with, and comes up with "Jack Welch is so great, they named Welch's Grape Juice after him, because he squeezes the sweetest juice from his workers' mind grapes." In the next scene, Tracy is in the writer's room brainstorming ideas for his appearance on Conan, and he says, "What else? What else is on my mind grapes?"
- Both Tracy and Liz somehow are able to see the "blue dude."
- Tongue Twister: This is the first episode in which we hear about Jenna's film, The Rural Juror, with its unpronounceable title.
