The Happiest Show On Earth - S3-E21
Trivia: Will Friedle had a huge crush on Staci Keanan from Step By Step and begged the producers to get her on the show. They ended up putting her in this episode, but much to Will's chagrin, he didn't get to be part of the episode's Disney World plot, and thus didn't work with her.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
Trivia: Kevin Smith has said that Jason Mewes hit on Carrie Fisher, using many Star Wars-related innuendos. Fisher asked him to stop, not because she was offended by it, but because many people hit on her in the same manner (including Ben Affleck), but none would ever actually go all the way with it.

Trivia: The network only allowed 7 days for the filming of each episode, rather than the standard 10 days that most hour-long series receive. When they proved they were able to successfully complete episodes in that short amount of time, rather than granting them 10 days per episode moving forward, the studio made them stick with the 7-day schedule since they were able to make it work.
