Trivia

  • He is likely a direct reference to John Jacob Astor IV of the RMS Titanic, who is rumored to have selflessly sacrificed his spot in a lifeboat for a young immigrant named Louis.
  • When Mr. Astor first appeared in the series, he was seen bald and with full hair. It's unknown whether it was a joke or simply a mistake.
  • An explanation for his separation from Fry might be that he didn't feel comfortable kissing Leela, as he they hadn't (formally) met before.
  • Mrs. Astor once addressed him as "Mister," so it might be his first name.
