Cultural references
- Lisa performs "America the Beautiful" which turns into "Proud Mary". Ripping off her dress to reveal a leotard underneath was a similar act performed by Tina Turner.
- When Lisa is announced as Little Miss Springfield, Marge is standing beside Lisa with a somber look on her face and wearing a pink Chanel dress and a pillbox hat. This was in reference to Jacqueline Kennedy standing beside Lyndon Johnson on Air Force One during the emergency inauguration of 1963, immediately following the death of President Kennedy.
- When Bob Hope walks onto the stage at Fort Springfield, his signature song "Thanks for the Memory" is heard.
- The rioting soldiers at Fort Springfield who are angered at seeing Little Miss Springfield instead of Miss Springfield as they were expecting, storm the stage, causing Lisa and Bob Hope to escape via helicopter. This is akin to the Playboy Playmate scene in Apocalypse Now.
- The way the Duff Blimp crashes is a reference to the Hindenburg disaster.
Trivia
- This episode has been used in England by the Anglican Church to give kids lessons in self-esteem, as well as pointing out Homer's sale of the Duff beer ticket, marking a sacrfice on his part as Lisa's self-worth has more value to him than his pleasure.
- To date, this episode marks the last time that actress Jo Ann Harris provided her voice on the show.
- The man Bob Hope talks to before going on stage is the Rebel Yell Records man from "Colonel Homer".
