Even though Bonnie Weems has her picture up on the wall of the station for the majority of the series' 11 season run, this is the only time actress Kathryn Danielle Hirsch has a speaking role and credit in Frasier.
The celebrity callers in this episode are Eric Stoltz (Don), Mel Brooks (Tom), Ben Stiller (Barry), Dominick Dunne (Jeff) and Rosemary Clooney (Gladys).
Being so early in the series, a lot of camera angles and parts of the sets were visible before the template of the series settled in and began leaving them out. This is one of the very rare episodes where viewers can see into the studio window behind Frasier's back instead of just out. The hallway behind Roz's control room was also rarely seen later on.
This marks the first appearance of "office legend" Bonnie Weems. It is that she hosts a show about cars.
The episode title is a play on Miracle on 34th Street (1947). Jane Leeves (who plays Daphne) was in the remake of that film, Miracle on 34th Street (1994).
