Other actors besides Victoria Justice who have previously appeared on "iCarly" include: Leon Thomas III (Andre), played Harper in "iCarly Saves TV" (season 1 episode 23).

Danielle Monet (Trina Vega) played a girl at Nora's birthday party in "iPsycho" (season 3 episode 17).
Sam notes that Tori Vega resembles Shelby Marx, who appeared in the episode "iFight Shelby Marx." Freddie also states that Tori is way hotter. Victoria Justice plays both characters.
The inclusion of Kenan Thompson as the episode's celebrity guest dates back to the 1990s, when he worked with Dan Schneider on "All That" and "Kenan and Kel". However, no reference is made to his previous Nickelodeon work, and Rex instead references "What Up With That?", one of Thompson's most famous recurring sketches from "Saturday Night Live", where he has worked since 2003.
