  • With no heat check found, the award goes for the first time to the casting director for not having a single Black person in the movie; fast-forwarding through the party scene found none.
  • Response: the character could not have had Black friends, since a Black friend or her husband would have intervened, and the new boyfriend could not have been Black either; the bus lady or a nurse could have been.
  • The nurse the husband gets information from is recognized as the actress who played the hot chick in Groundhog Day.
  • One participant, speaking only for Black people they know, is okay not being in this one; a Black YWCA lady would have made it a completely different phone call.
  • The segment closes with no heat-check winner, unless it goes to the lady with the apple for her knowing glances at Julia.
