He also admits that it is never dull for him.[7] In his years at elementary school he was picked on, one of the bullies being a kid (now adult) named Chester.[8] He also calls Muffy, "Miss Muffy."

Trivia[]
- For his first appearance he was called James,[9] but his name changed to Bailey in the episode "Poor Muffy."
- In "The Butler Did...What?", Muffy is not sure whether Bailey is his first or last name. "Arthur and the Haunted Tree House" reveals that his full name is Bailey Carson Belvedere III.
- Bailey is likely named for Arthur director Greg Bailey and the fictional butlers Charles Carson from Downton Abbey and Lynn Aloysius Belvedere, who first appeared in a 1947 novel and then in several movies and a TV show.
- In "Caught in the Crosswires", it is revealed that he is 37.
- His room has a picture from high school, where it's revealed that he went to high school with Mr. Ratburn. They were in the high school band together in 1979–1980.[10]
- He's miscolored in certain episodes, notably "Muffy's New Best Friend" and "The Play's the Thing."
- He plays badminton. In "The Tardy Tumbler," Muffy says that she has a badminton match with him. In "The Case of the Girl with the Long Face," Muffy noted how he sprained his elbow playing.
- In "Lights, Camera... Opera!", it is revealed that Bailey loves opera and is a good singer.
- In "The Butler Did...What?", Bailey is revealed to be a jazz fan who plays the trumpet, though not very well.
- According to Bruce Dinsmore, Bailey's proper manner of speaking is inspired by Mr. Howell from Gilligan's Island.[11]
