Trivia: According to Debbe Dunning on the Pod Meets World podcast, when casting for a new tool girl to replace the departing Pamela Anderson, the producers said they were looking for a Debbe Dunning-type, but not Debbe Dunning.

When she arrived to audition, all the other hopefuls were wearing jeans and T-shirts, and Dunning was told the producers would not see her dressed that way.
Trivia: Debbe Dunning gained 52 lbs. while pregnant, which she attributed to craft services being readily available on set. She was told she would have to lose all that weight after having her baby, which she said she was able to do rather quickly.
