Notes

Michael Strahan initially chose "A" for the third Not My Job question, but the audience started shouting out answers. Peter Sagal asked if Michael wanted to go with the audience's answer; in which, Michael heard them shouting out "C" and went with that answer. "C" was the correct answer for all three Not My Job questions.

The New York Times article that was the topic of the first Listener Limerick Challenge was written by Shane O'Neill, who was a panelist and provided some additional context to the story.
