Notes

For the second Not My Job question, Earlonne Woods chose "A" while Nigel Poor chose "B". The correct answer was "C". Another instance where all three of the correct Not My Job answers were "C".

Paula Poundstone answered her fourth Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank question with "collective urine". Peter Sagal initally said that it was incorrect but then changed to accept it; as, the correct answer was "recycled sewage".
