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".
