Trivia[]
- The only episode in which Early does not wear a trucker hat, is in the Halloween episode where he is seen first briefly wearing a jack-o-lantern as a hat/costume, and then wearing the forehead of Frankenstein's monster and a banana suit for hunting.
- In the episode "The Liceman Cometh", it is revealed that all of Early's trucker hats are located underneath an underground location from a stove in the Cuyler house, to access it Early must flip the switch for the stove to beep and open a hole to the entrance to this location. Yellow vehicles are also used to pick out any of these hats.
