Description

Carl Kasell's Countdown; Opening Panel Round; Not My Job about the rock 'n' roll lifestyle taken from a recent article in "Blender" magazine; Panel Round #2; Bluff the Listener about little mistakes with big consequences; Lightning Fill In The Blank; Panelist Predictions: what memo will be discovered that will finally force Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to resign?

Notes

Justice Stephen Breyer is the first Supreme Court Justice to appear on a game show.

Several members of audience chanted "Luuuuuuke" when Luke was introduced by Peter; Paula mentions "IHOP" again; hilarious interaction between the panelists, Peter and Justice Breyer including discussion about his robe.

Another hilarious bluff by Mo, in which the listener contestant is from the same city as referenced in Mo's bluff. When asked what two spiders did for one of Mo's Lightning Fill In The Blank questions, Mo answered, in his unique manner, "knife fight!". The answer was "snuggling", to which Mo came back with "that's a lot of snuggling!"
