Behind the scenes
- The episode proved to air posthumously as Alex Trebek had died on November 8, 2020; in fact, it aired sooner in tribute of him, which sucks because must we have the celebrity die in order for these episodes to air much sooner than they usually would do?
- With every episode's title card, one of the gang announces the guest star, which is Velma this time.
- While Johnny's claim of Max Kilobyte being the first "robotic contestant" is true, the real-world Jeopardy! did have contestants up against a machine called IBM Watson in 2011.
- Daphne says "Jeepers" twice.
- Velma says "Jinkies" once.
- Fred says "Hold the phone" once.
- Johnny introduces Shaggy as a contestant by calling him Norville.
- In the first chase, the gang and Alex go backstage and find the original set from the 1964-1979 incarnation of Jeopardy!
- The way Scooby sticks his head out of the barrel to see Max is the same as when Scooby stuck his head out of a barrel to see Charlie the Robot in the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode "Foul Play in Funland."
