Notes

This is the first time a show has had both a guest host and a guest scorekeeper.

In the edited version of the show, Peter Grosz was asked five questions and had answered the first four correct. The additional question he answered correct may have been from the three questions that were omitted. Rachel Feinstein asked for the answer for her second Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank question after saying that her mind "closes like a box" when doing trivia. Tom Papa read the answer and Rachel was given credit.

Joshua Johnson was the guest scorekeeper for the 2024-11-09 show with Tara Dower as the Not My Job guest.

Peter Grosz was the guest host for the 2023-02-09 show with Billy Porter as the Not My Job guest.
