When Audrey walks into their restaurant, spewing lies for Ellen's grandma's benefit, one of the lies that Ellen told her to tells is that she is pregnant with Joe (Ellen's fake boyfriend)'s baby, and is going to name him "Chester". This appears to have been a direct dig at serial Ellen sitcom copy-artist, Fran Drescher, whose real life dog appeared first in The Nuchslep (1993) and was also named "Chester" in that sitcom.
