Ann has to have an original comedy piece for an audition, so after the disappointment of Jerry's cousin Ernie Bernie, she recruits Donald, who wrote for a show back in college.  It almost wrecks their relationship but they come through OK.  I actually thought that Ann's rambling explanation would end up getting her a role, but it doesn't go in that direction.

J.B. Larson, who plays the Assistant Producer, was the Studio Usher earlier.  Jack Good, who's Mr. Handley, was Mr. Rudolph previously.  Snag Werris, who plays the Waiter, would have four guest shots on The Brady Bunch.  This is Howard Harris's only TG episode (co-written with Ronald Axe), although he wrote a couple for Gilligan.  It's the first of six TG Danny Arnold (best known for Barney Miller) would direct, although he'd write some, too.
