Notes

For the first We'll Wait, You Tell Us, the listener contestant chose Charlie Pierce's answer, but Margo Kaufman's answer was correct.

The Rise and Fall of Chainsaw Al Dumlap was an adaptation of Al Dunlap's autobiography, "Mean Business," by Peter Sagal and Carl Kasell.

For the second We'll Wait, You Tell Us, the listener contestant chose Margo's answer, but Charlie's answer was correct.

Charlie Pierce had used the bonus phrase as an answer for the last Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank question and got an extra point.
