Of course it's a reference to Robert Reed. He had been gone well over two years by the time this movie was released. As previously stated, Alice's joke was merely the set-up for the punchline (watch Carol's look - it clearly indicates she is 'in on the joke'). This is reinforced later by Cindy saying "Mr Dittmeyer says she's overhung. He's bad-tempered because he's taking it in the rear." To which Alice replies: "Must be that paper boy again." This type of jibe wouldn't be allowed today due to Cancel Culture.
