- During her entrance, Fey delivered props from a magical bag, including a crown for 'royal stuff' and a case labelled 'The Epstein files', prompting a joke from cast member Ania Magliano.
- She also joked about hosting to gain dual citizenship and made a swift exit after the cast revealed they were all wearing engagement rings.
