After Dakota Johnson incorrectly answered the first two Not My Job questions, Peter Sagal made the third question an all-or-nothing where Dakota would win if she correctly answered the question. Dakota answered the question correctly and won the voicemail greeting for the listener contestant.
In the edited version of the show, only five of Alonzo Bodden's Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank questions were included. Of those five questions, Alonzo answered four correct; meaning, the fifth correct answer would have been for one of the three questions that were edited out. The listed score for Alonzo is based on what Bill Kurtis stated on the show.

Luke Burbank was in the middle of asking the Listener Limerick Challenge contestant about napping penguins when Negin had to stop Luke from finishing his question. The reason is that it was the topic of the third limerick.
Eugene Cordero could not think of Boris Johnson's last name for his second Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank question and answered "Boris British". Negin accepted his answer and Eugene got credit for it.
