Notes

Paula Poundstone sneezed while Peter Grosz was explaining how the Who's Bill This Time? segment works.

For the third Not My Job question, Bernie Taupin initially chose "B" but Peter Grosz suggested that he change his answer. The audience was shouting out "C", which Bernie chose and it was the correct answer.
