The show was recorded remotely.
Before the Bluff the Listener and the second Panel Round, Bill Kurtis introduced Peter Sagal as "Bert Sagal" to keep from confusing either Peter Sagal or Peter Grosz.
Woody Hoburg initially answered "A" for the first Not My Job question, but Peter Sagal hinted that it might not be the correct answer. Woody then changed his answer to "B", but the correct answer was actually "C". For the second Not My Job question, Woody initially answered "B," but the panelists, especially Roxanna Roberts, nudged him to "A," which was the correct answer. When Peter Sagal asked Bill how Woody did, Bill gave Woody all three points.
Peter Sagal closed out the show with "I'm Burt Sagal. And, we'll see you next week."

Another instance where all three choices for the third Not My Job question were correct.
When Negin Farsad asked Bill Kurtis how Karen Chee did, Bill said that she had "6 right for 12 more points. She now has 14". Karen Chee started the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank round with 1 point, meaning that Karen would have had a total of 13 points. After Josh Gondelman answered 5 questions correct, Bill said that Josh was the champion with 14 points.
