There are four Mr. Frelinghoysens that run the talent agency. Evanier, a fan of old classic gag routines, resorts to Bugs asking to see "Mr. Frelinghoysen" four times, until the guy answering him finally says “That’s me!” Also, owing to classic Bugs Bunny cartoons, Evanier has Bugs call Irving (Ronny Bebop’s huge bodyguard) “Gargantua”.
