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 Lightning Fill In The Blank 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.
