Jimmy Gator, a quiz show host, claims that "the book says, we might be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us." The reference is to the opening sentence of The Natural History of Nonsense, a book debunking superstitious beliefs published in 1946 by Bergen Evans, a professor of English at Northwestern University. Professor Evans served as the host of several television quiz shows in the 1950s (Down You Go (1951), It's About Time (1954), and Super Ghost (1952)). Among many other topics, Evan's book discusses the belief that it sometimes rains frogs, an event that features prominently in the movie.
