• Schöneberger echoed the praise on air, calling Pilawa attractive and talented, as Darnell admitted he has never met him in person.
• Darnell pocketed a photo of Pilawa during a light game segment, creating a standout comedic moment on the episode.
• The episode’s levity included Darnell mistakenly identifying politician Robert Habeck as an actor during a pumpkin-assignment game.
