Dr. Anthony Fauci chose "B" for the third Not My Job question and the audience responded by shouting "C". Dr. Fauci stuck with his original answer of "B" as he did not want to get booed for choosing "C" due to the sexist nature, even considering that it's from the world of Barbie. "C" was the correct answer.
Chioke I'Anson provided a very helpful hint to the listener contestant for Listener Limerick Challenge as both Chioke and the listener are from Richmond, Virginia.
