- First: Faith Salie 15 (3 / 6)
- Second: Paula Poundstone 11 (1 / 5)
- Third: Tracy Clayton 6 (2 / 2)
This is the second time in which the show featured an all women panel. The first time was 2015-09-12, which also featured Faith Salie and Paula Poundstone (along with Roxanne Roberts).
The last time that Bill Kurtis used "Legendary Anchorman" in his intro was back on a non-Best Of show was 2015-04-18.
Faith Salie gave an assist to the listener after Bill Kurtis read the second limerick by speaking in a robotic voice.
After Tracy finished answering her Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank questions and Peter asked how many Faith would need to win, Tracy asked Faith to throw the game; because, it was Tracy's first time on the show.

- First: Amy Dickinson 16 (4 / 6)
- Second: Roy Blount, Jr. 15 (3 / 6)
- Third: Alonzo Bodden 14 (4 / 5)
The Bluff the Listener contestant originally chose Roy Blount, Jr.'s bluff; but, the audience reacted strong against the choice. The listener then changed over to Amy Dickinson's bluff and was correct.

- First Tied: Brian Babylon 12 (2 / 5)
- First Tied: Phoebe Robinson 12 (4 / 4)
- Third: Alonzo Bodden 9 (3 / 3)
The correct answer for the third Not My Job question was not just one of the three possible answers, but all three; which, Eddie Izzard guessed correctly.
There was some pen or button clicking sound during a couple of segments during the show, but most evident during Alonzo Bodden's Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank round. Alonzo took a little long to come up with an answer for his third Lightning question and Peter reminded him that it was the "Lightning" round.
