Pie apparently dies on the air in a helicopter crash, with his last words "Tell my wife I love--" dismissed with a chuckle by oblivious anchor Kent Brockman. However, he must have survived as he has been seen in several episodes afterwards.

The character's name may be an homage to famed World War II news correspondant Ernie Pyle.

It is also possible that Arnie Pie's name (and therefore his segment name) is a play on the expression "A pie in the sky".
