Oliver said that the segment was checked over by HBO's lawyers (who he joked were "getting very tired of this"). However, he also said that the episode would likely lead to another lawsuit from Murray. Oliver said that he would stand behind his works if it were to happen. When Judge Jeffery D. Cramer threw out Oliver's case, he noted that people are allowed to use "loose, figurative language". Oliver brought this up as his reason to create a musical number to end the episode.
