The Wait Wait.. Don't Tell Me! page for this show when you manually enter in the date for the show lists the date of 2004-01-05. That day is actually a Thursday and not a Saturday, which is the normal week day that shows are listed under. The information listed on that page matches that of the 2004-08-07 show and that is the information that I am using to fill in the information for this show.
