When Carl Kasell introduced Charlie Pierce at the beginning of the show, Carl also mentioned that Captain Cheap Laughs was sitting on Charlie's left shoulder. Carl would mention Captain Cheap Laughs again before the Bluff the Listener segment.

The listener contestant for the first Who's Carl This Time? segment had previously met Adam Felber at Adam's bar mitzvah and the listener's dog had bitten Adam's face. Adam would continue to get razzed for that incident throughout the show.

This is the first time there has been a guest show host.

As a form of "revenge" for having a score of zero named after her, Susan Stamberg said that for each incorrect answer or each second someone doesn't know the answer would be called a "Sagal".

The third choice for all three Not My Job questions were "sniffing cocaine".

At the end of the show, Carl Kasell introduced new naming for scores: 0 points would be a "Flintoff", 1 point would be a "Rat Boy" (Steve Inskeep), 2 points would be a "New Palca", and 3 points would be a "Dan Schorr".

Roxanne Roberts was asked seven questions during Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank segment and answered four of them correct, for a total of 14 points. When Peter Sagal asked how Roxanne did, Carl Kasell stated that Roxanne answered five correct, for a total of 16 points. The scores entered reflect the scores Carl stated on the show.

Adam Felber wanted to be referred to as The Legendary Adam Felber.

Tom and Ray Magliozzi asked Roxanne Roberts as a hint for the third Not My Job question.
