The show's announcer is Dave Devall, the CFTO weatherman who did his reports from behind a weather map on a plexiglas screen. He wrote and drew on the map, with both hands. He had to write backwards, for the writing to appear the right way around to viewers. Toller Cranston says, "This is 1980." Therefore, this episode is from 1980, not 1981. Toller and Jim refer to CTV's "Stars on Ice". This weekly half-hour variety show on ice was hosted by Alex Trebek.
