Notes

Bridget Everett and Jeff Hiller initially chose "C" for the first Not My Job question, but changed their answer after the audience shouted "B", which was the correct answer. For the second Not My Job question, Bridget chose "B" and Jeff chose "C" for their answers, and "C" was correct. For the third Not My Job question, Bridge chose "C" and Jeff chose "B", with "B" being the correct answer. When Peter Sagal asked Tim Meadows how they did, Tim said "Jeff got a three questions correct. It's a record."

Before the second Panel Questions segment, Peter called the usual Listener Limerick Challenge segment "Listener Timerick Challenge".

Before the listener contestant for Listener "Timerick" Challenge could answer the third limerick, the audience shouted out the answer "recline". Tim gave the listener contestant 800 points.

When Peter asked how Joyelle Nicole Johnson did answering the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank questions, Tim said that Joyelle had 12 points. Joyelle started with two points and answered six correct for a total of 14 points. Joyelle corrected Tim and Tim updated Joyelle's total score to 14.
