Who's Carl This Time?; Opening Panel Round; Bluff the Listener about someone who turned out not to be as tough as once thought; Not My Job about "World Weekly News" now that the tabloid is stopping publication; Panel Round #2; And You Can Quote Me On That; Lighthing Fill In The Blank; Panelist Predictions: now that obesity has been found to be contagious, what will be the next thing to be catching?
Limited audience chanting of "Luuuuuuke", in which Luke retorts that for each second of chanting would be one less second that Mo Rocca can make jokes. Tom Bodett finished his Bluff the Listener story with his famous "We'll leave the light on for you" tagline from his Motel 6 adverts.
