Notes

While Shane O'Neil was reading his bluff story, Shane started singing a portion of "I Will Always Love You" and passed it over to the audience to continue singing; and, they did.

Kaila Mullady initially chose "A" for the third Not My Job question and Peter Sagal was "desparately trying to encourage" Kaila to reconsider "B". Kaila chose "B" and that was the correct answer. When Peter asked Bill Kurtis how Kaila did, Bill started to beatbox before saying that Kaila got 2 points and won for the listener contestant.

Notes

This is the fifth Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! show that features an all women panel.

Brad Paisley initially chose "C" for the first Not My Job question, but Maeve Higgins and the audience nudged Brad towards "B". Brad changed his answer to "B", which was the correct answer.

Another instance where all three panelists are tied at the start of the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank segment
