Notes

The NPR.org site does not have a page for this show, even on their legacy website.

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

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

This is the first time that panelists had earned half-points since the show closed out with Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank. Since only the panelist score column only supports non-integer scores, the panelist starting scores were rounded up: from 7.5 to 8 for Margo and from 5.5 to 6 for Charlie.
