In the iteration Forbidden Broadway Strikes Back, the opening number, "Parody Tonight", features an impersonation of actress Zoe Caldwell (who played Maria Callas on Broadway in "Masterclass"). In her first appearance in the number she says, "No, no, Ari! I don't want to sing. I don't want to make love. I don't want Patti Lupone to replace me in Masterclass. I won't have a word said against her -- but! A Maria Callas from Long Island? I ask you!"

She then reappears after almost every other celebrity impersonation in the song to make a comment that ends with "I ask you!".

And that was probably way more than you cared to hear.

It's just that I keep finding such obscure little tidbits in UF after I learn about them from other sources that I figured that was just another one.
