... and when we pulled all-night CQ (basically barracks-door guard duty at a desk), the
ONLY thing on TV after about midnight was The PTL Club with Jim and Tammy Bakker.
.
It was background noise (except for the nights that we'd bet on how soon Tammy Faye
would start crying and making her caked mascara run).

The audacity of those people (and the gullibility of their followers) was unbelievable!!!

if I order it in a restaurant or ask for it at home, the only way I say it is "Chicken pot chicken pot chicken pot piiiiiieeeeeeeeee"

My wife is used to it but waitstaff are generally less amused.

Like "Rescue Me", this episode was written and directed by creator Steve Levitan. Levitan had been pitching this idea to his staff for quite some time. They rejected the idea as being too potentially offensive. Only when someone came up with the idea of having David Cross play the character was it approved. They were familiar with Cross, and realized he was possibly the only person who could portray this character in both a humorous and non-offensive way. In fact, it was agreed that the episode would be done if and only if they could get Cross for the role. They had to wait several months for Cross to come free of some commitments, but when he finally did and agreed to play the part, the show was promptly filmed.
