Notes

The show was recorded remotely.

Sarah Paulson did impressions of a dolphin and Drew Barrymore during the Not My Job segment. For the third Not My Job question, Mo Rocca didn't think "B" was the correct answer as it was too grim. Sarah wanted to choose "B" and Peter Sagal said "Don't listen to Mo. Don't listen to Mo." Sarah chose "B" and was correct. Mo said that it was the first time a guest had sung their reaction to winning the game.

Another instance in which all three of the panelists were tied at the start of the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank segment. After answering his first Lightning question, Mo called Lindsey Graham the "Mrs. Kravitz of electoral politics" and said "Yoo-hoo. What's going on in your state over there?" as Mrs. Kravitz.
