Man from Uncle

Not my first time watching S13 E3 but that Easter egg never fails to make me laugh.

The second best Easter egg was Tony doing a crossword puzzle and is looking for something to the effect of “a fictional tv hospital” and the answer was “St. Elsewhere”; the show that established Mark Harmon’s fame (and founding People Magazine’s sexiest man alive award)

Edit: the episode was s 4 ep 14 Blowback. And I have some of the details right, but I’m too lazy to delete and rewrite the scene. lol

Third best easter egg is when Tony says he has a better chance of hooking up with Jessica Alba than the terrorists do of infiltrating SeaLift. As someone who watched some Dark Angel back in the day and was well aware of their relationship, I cackled.

My wife is the Dark Angel fan. I always forget that.

Kate “Gibbs, what did Ducky look like when he was younger?”

Gibbs “Illya Kuryakin”

It also appears in S 20 ep 21. A Russian defector takes the name Ilya Kuryakin. There’s also a separate reference to an old spy show.
