Notes
Peter Sagal had a little bit of trouble pronouncing Soleimani's name during the Who's Bill This Time? segment.
The Bluff the Listener contestant's name was Luke, which lead to Luke Burbank, along with the audience, to chant "Luuuke" at the listener contestant. When asked which of the three Bluff stories was correct, Luke the contestant started his response with "What is". Peter responded by saying that the contestant was thinking of the wrong show. When Peter said that the contestant chose the right story, Luke Burbank said, "Thank You".
There was some technical difficulties during the Not My Job interview in which the call seemed to have dropped. They were able to get Ronan back on to complete the interview and segment.
