- Geena Davis Score: 2
Who's Bill This Time?, Bluff the Listener about people taking a memorable trip to Montana, Not My Job about blue jeans, Listener Limerick Challenge, Panelist Predictions: what will be the next movie theater innovation?
Geena Davis initially chose "A" for her first Not My Job question; but, after some hesistation from Tom Papa, she changed her answer to "B", the correct answer. After Tom read all three choices for the third Not My Job question, many in the audience shouted "B". Geena chose "B" and it was the correct answer.
After Hari Kondabolu finished his set of Lightning Lightning Fill In The Blank questions, Tom asked Bill Kurtis if Hari did well enough to win. At least in the radio/podcast edit of the show, Bill did not state how many questions Hari answered correctly. The score reflects the number of questions Hari answered correctly on the radio/podcast edit: three.
