About her guest-starring role, Harada told Playbill.com, "I had such a good time being reunited with Johnny T. and Jen Barnhart again! Also, Lara McLean who did a lot of the AVENUE Q readings, is one of the puppeteers there. I only wish Natalie Venetia Belcon (who's a series regular) was in that episode too!"
