* MuppetCameo: Big Bird, Elmo, Zoey and an unnamed Muppet Doctor all appear to film Abbey's guest spot. The show follows the {{kayfabe}} of treating the muppets as individuals and not showing the puppeteers on screen.

!!Tropes:
* ContinuityNod: When Josh hears that a Supreme Court Judge has just passed away he assumes it's Chief Justice Ashland who had previously been established as having health problems.
* MuppetCameo: Big Bird, Elmo, Zoey and an unnamed Muppet Doctor all appear to film Abbey's guest spot. The show follows the {{kayfabe}} of treating the muppets as individuals and not showing the puppeteers on screen.
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: News that Big Bird will be visiting the White House leads to a lot of jokes at [[HeightAngst C.J.'s]] expense.
-->'''C.J.:''' Because nobody's ever made a joke about me and Big Bird before.
* NoIndoorVoice: After Ellie ends up on the news [[PapaWolf Jed]] can be heard ranting about it from outside the Oval Office.
* SesameStreetCred: C.J. convinces Abbey not to take hard-hitting interviews but instead build up her profile by appearing on ''Series/SesameStreet''. She ends up filming a segment where she gives Elmo a vaccination.
* ShrinkingViolet: Ellie's reluctance to speak in public makes the investigation into her work that much harder for her. Jed tries to persuade her to make an official statement but it takes seeing her mother filming her ''Sesame Street'' skit to convince Ellie of the power of defending scientific research.
* VisualPun: Big Bird takes a seat next to C.J. playing off the many, ''many'' jokes about how tall they both are.
* WhamLine: Two in rapid succession when Leo reveals that a Supreme Court Justice has died, and that it's ''not'' Chief Justice Ashland.
