Notes
Right after the Opening Panel Round, when Peter Sagal was listing out NPR sponsors, Peter got to the one for Motel 6 and had Tom Bodett do their slogan. Listener contestant had trouble guessing a correct answer (fork) and guessed "spork"; the listener finally got it. The "spork" answer sparked hilarity.
