   | Pilots usually do air first.  A better explanation is that it was FOX's

   I assumed he was pointing fun at the fact that the first Simpson's episode   
   to air was NOT the episode originally planned to be the first/pilot.   
      
   "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" aired first, but IIRC "Some Enchanted   
   Evening" was intended to have been the first/pilot.  It would eventually   
   air towards the end of Season One.
