Show Details: May 2015
2015-05-02
- First: Roxanne Roberts 15 (3 / 6)
- Second: P.J. O'Rourke 11 (3 / 4)
- Third: Brian Babylon 6 (2 / 2)
Jonathan Adler's husband, Simon Doonan, was the Not My Job guest for the show aired on 2015-02-07 and answered only one question correctly.
2015-05-09
- First: Jessi Klein 14 (0 / 7)
- Second: Peter Grosz 13 (5 / 4)
- Third: Mike Birbiglia 10 (2 / 4)
After Steve Buscemi answered "C" for the third Not My Job question, Peter Sagal said, "Yes, it's C again." The correct answer for neither the first or the second Not My Job questions were "C".
It is pretty rare, or ever done in the past, for a panelist to start the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank round with zero points, but Jessi Klein did so. Even with zero points, Jessi answered seven of eight questions correctly and ended up winning the game.
In the edited version of the show, Mike Birbiglia was asked six Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank questions and answered three of them correctly, instead of four as stated by Bill Kurtis. The fourth correct answer was probably cut out.
2015-05-16
- First: Gabe Liedman 16 (4 / 6)
- Second: Luke Burbank 14 (2 / 6)
- Third: Paula Poundstone 11 (1 / 5)
When the Bluff the Listener contestant initially chose Luke's bluff as the correct one, Peter Sagal had a heavy hand in making the contestant change her mind and switch to Gabe's bluff. Peter has done this more than once in the past. The last and most memorable one was back on 2006-11-11 when Peter made the contestant switch away from Aamer Haleem. Aamer made a bit of a stink on-air about it.
In the edited version of the show, Paula had only answered four questions correctly during the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank round, even though Bill Kurtis said she answered five correct. The fifth one would have been the one edited out.
2015-05-23
- First: Faith Salie 14 (2 / 6)
- Second Tied: Adam Felber 13 (3 / 5)
- Second Tied: Bobcat Goldthwait 13 (3 / 5)
