==Trivia==
*Credited as Joe "Toolbox" Fallon on some of his music credits.
*Despite the rumors, him leaving the show had '''''NOTHING''''' to do with the [[Cinar]] Tax Scandal and was in fact a year before the investigation.<ref>http://elwoodcitycentral.createaforum.com/new-board/joe-fallon/msg746/#msg746</ref> {{Arthur}} was not affected by the scandal at all because it was publicly known to be a Canadian-American co-production.
