Notes

Karen's drag queen name is "Shu-Shu Fontana." Jack's is "Glen 125th."
About the "Himalayan whistle kids", Max Mutchnick says: "My mother had married a man who had two children from his first family, whom she would force my brother and me to talk to. We'd get on the phone with these kids and we never understood a single word they said, and we used to say it was because they spoke in hoots and clicks like they do across the Himalayan valleys. So we started calling them the 'Himalayan Whistle Kids.' It was a little bit of an exaggeration." (From Will & Grace: Fabulously Uncensored)
