Mo Rocca gave an answer of "nip slip" during Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank, which was accepted as a valid answer for "wardrobe malfunction".

The chanting of "Luuuuuuke" continues when Peter introduced this week's panelists.

During the Listener Limerick Challenge round, Mo Rocca brought up the idea of putting babies in the overhead compartment as a possible alternative to kid-less airplane flights.

I get to relive the fact that Monica Seles did not answer enough, much less any, questions correctly and I lost my chance to get Carl Kasell's message on my voicemail greeting.

Mo Rocca referenced his idea of putting babies in airplane overhead compartments from his 2011-02-05 appearance on the show.

The theme for this week's show is all about health and fitness.

Peter mentioned twice that David's wife, Laura Lippman, got all three questions right when she was on. Looking back, Laura only answered two correctly.

Yep, I finally got on the show and was able to get all three questions correct. Pretty great birthday present as well.

During the Listener Limerick Challenge round, when Paula went off on another pointless or questionable "Wait Wait" studies rant, there was a loud bang in the background of the contestant's line. Paula immediately asked "do he just shoot himself?". Hilarity ensued.

Tom Bodett, spokesperson for Motel 6, said the catchphrase "(Where they'll) leave the light on for you" when Peter Segal listed Motel 6 as an NPR supporter.

Another uncommon instance in which all three panelists answered six Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank questions correctly. The last occurrence seems to have occurred during the 2010-06-04 show, then the 2009-09-12 show before that.

While some might consider this devilish, but the proper instance would be the panelists that go first and last each get six questions correct and the other panelist only gets one correct. Why? Search for "616" on this site.

In the second panelist round in which a discussion about daddy baby showers lead to Mo Rocca saying that having a Hula dancer in the same room as a mother giving birth would be a relaxing agent. Luke Burbank came back asking if that would be something that would be blogged on "MoRoccaTheWorldsWorstObstetrician.net".

Guess what, I have registered that domain and it now redirects to this site. :)

Right before the Listener Limerick Challenge, when Peter was providing instructions on how to become a contestant on the show, a dog had barked just after Peter said, "wait wait". That stopped Peter in his tracks and some banter ensued.

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.

Fun with the term, "haboob". Nice one, Peter: "Luke, good news in Kabul... just kidding!"

Another instance of a silly study being called out by Paula, mostly when Paula is a cat owner. Towards the end of the Listener Limerick Challenge round, Peter was rattling off spoilers and said that Adam Felber would be the show's winner. Adam did in fact win with 13 points.

In the first Mo Moment that listeners requested was 2011-06-18's second panelist round discussion about daddy baby showers lead to Mo Rocca saying that having a Hula dancer in the same room as a mother giving birth would be a relaxing agent. Luke Burbank came back asking if that would be something that would be blogged on "MoRoccaTheWorldsWorstObstetrician.net". At the end of that moment, Peter Sagal mentioned that I registered that domain and that it redirects to this site. Woot!

All three of the panelists (and the Not My Job guest) have a first initial of "A"; which may just be coincidence considering there is question whether or not the nation's debt rating may not be "AAA" for too long.

Just so Henry Winkler would get to do the Fonzie's trademark "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaay", all of the correct answers in the Not My Job were "A".

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! came back to Portland, Oregon for the third time. I attended the show and re-outed myself as the Wait Wait Stats Page maintainer during the post-show Q&A session.

This show's panel consists of three comedians.

The listener contestant for the Listener Limerick Challenge humorously provides TMI during her introduction.

During the Who's Carl This Time? round, Peter confused St. Peter with St. Paul, causing P.J. to correct Peter. This lead to Luke and Paula to join into the fun.

Peter had a verbal trip up when introducing the Bluff the Listener game to the listener contestant with "what is, means... that" rather than "what this means is that". Paula called Adam Riess a physicist, in which Adam clarified that he was an astro-physicist and jokingly taking offense to that.

Listener contestant in the Listener Limerick Challenge round actually said "wait, wait... don't tell me" when trying to come up with an answer.

The listener contestant asked to re-hear one of the limericks as she zoned out part-way through. She explained that she usually listens to the podcast of the show while working and will sometimes zones out.

Mo Rocca joked about having a three-way tie of 9-9-9 at the end of the game in reference to Herman Cain's tax plans. Unfortunately, all three panelists started the final round with an even number of points. Coincidentally, the panelists ended up in a three-way tie with 12 points each. This is another instance in which a three-way tie in which Mo Rocca was a panelist (2010-10-23, the show in which Mo asked when was the last three-way tie, and 2008-09-27).

Carl Kasell's attempt of re-creating the sound of a baby crying was hilarious.

"Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!: A Royal Pain In The News" BBC America TV special aired on 2011-12-23.

The TV version did not have the Bluff the Listener or Listener Limerick Challenge segments. For the radio version of the show, contestants are chosen from the studio audience rather than the usual listeners. In both versions, the Carl's Holiday Letters round were played by the panelists and not the a studio audience member or a listener contestant.
