Who's Carl This Time?, Bluff the Listener about how "Sex and The City" still holds influence today, Not My Job about the sport of partridge shooting, Listener Limerick Challenge, Panelist Predictions: what are the unexpected benefits of the government shutdown?
Maz Jobrani answered six Lightning Fill In The Blank questions correctly (including the last one in which Maz's answer of "(David) Cameron's cat" was accepted by Peter Sagal and a bell ding given). Carl stated that Maz had only answered five questions correct. This will not Maz's first run-in with an incorrect answer/point count, as it also happened on the 2012-06-12 show. Unlike the outcome of 2012-06-16's show, Maz would have still come in third place with the correct score count.

In the Lightning Fill In The Blank segment for edited version of the show, Mo Rocca had answered 4 out of the 6 included questions correct; even though, Carl stated that Mo answered 6 correctly at the end of the round. That meant that Mo had to have answered the two other (unaired) questions correct.
