Notes
The first listener contestant for We'll Wait, You Tell Us had written in suggesting that listeners who win could have Carl Kasell call people at 3 AM in the morning to tell them the news or Tom and Ray of Car Talk could do brake jobs. The first listener contestant for the same segment chose Roxanne Roberts' answer, but Margo Kaufman had the correct answer. The second listener contestant chose Margo's answer, but Roxanne had the correct answer.
The listener contestant for the News Etymology segment chose Roxanne's answer, but Peter Sagal had the correct answer.
Peter had a total of 22.5 points. His score has been rounded up to 23 as the Wait Wait Stats Database currently has the scores defined as integers.
