Notes

During the Week in Review segment, Roxanne Roberts answered a question with "the voice of Wilma Flintstone" and got credit for the answer. Charlie Pierce said that Roxanne should have to provide the name of the voice actor to get the point; which, Peter Sagal said that Charlie Pierce could earn an extra point by providing the voice actor's name. Charlie did and got the extra point.
