The audio recording for the show that I received had a cut in the audio starting from Peter Sagal asking Adam Felber a question for the second Panel Question segment. The audio came back just before the start of the second Who's Carl This Time? segment.

At the start of Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank, Carl Kasell said, "For the first time that I could remember, we have a three-way tie for first place." The first time there was a three-way tie at the start of Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank was on the 1998-11-21 show.
