Joe Palca had been the first guest to answer one question correct. After that, a guest scoring one point would be referred to as scoring "a Palca". It was mentioned that a guest scoring only one point would, going forward, be referred to as scoring "an Inskeep" instead.
Towards the end of the Lightning Fill In The Blank segment, Roy Blount, Jr. surmised that no man had won two games in a row before. Peter Sagal won five games in a row from 1998-02-28 through 1998-03-28 (no final scores were tabulated and announced for the 1998-04-04 show) and Adam Felber won two games in a row, 1998-09-19 and 1998-09-26.
