The wedding of Michael and Stevie was designed to be a recreation of David Hasselhoff and Catherine Hickland's real wedding. Devon gives the bride away while the ceremony is presided over by the Reverend Henry Cutrona. Publicity material for the episode states that Edward Mulhare and Reverend Cutrona performed the same duties at David Hasselhoff and Catherine Hickland's wedding ceremony two years before.
In an ironic twist of fate, Catherine Hickland went on to marry US soap star Michael E. Knight. They separated in 2006.
This was supposed to be the Knight Rider finale, but due to a drop in ratings, they moved it up in the season, which gave a significant enough boost in ratings to be able to finish the season as planned.
An exchange between Michael and Devon cut from the scene outside the hospital foreshadows Knight Rider 2000. Devon tells Michael, "Certain men are chosen to enjoy a little and endure much...You're that breed of man." Michael replies, "No, Devon...you're that breed of man. I want to be the kind with no responsibility. I don't want to be involved in any of the so-called 'great' schemes of this world."
The wedding was staged differently in early drafts - Durant posed as the Minister, and Michael and Stevie never managed to exchange vows.
