Another instance where "A" was the correct answer for all three Not My Job questions and that all three of the choices for the third Not My Job question were also correct. Towards the end of the Not My Job segment, Peter Sagal said that Austan Goolsbee was 2-for-2, but Austan had previously been a Not My Job guest twice before (2011-09-03 and 2018-03-10) and won both of those appearances. That means Austan is actually 3-for-3.

After Peter Sagal read the third question for Who's Bill This Time?, someone sneezed in the audience and Dulcé Sloan whispered "Bless you".
For the first and second Not My Job questions, choice "C" involved Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" in some manner. Another instance where all three of the correct choices for the Not My Job questions were "B".
When Peter asked how well Dulcé did during Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank, Bill Kurtis said that she got "four right, eight more points" for a total of 12 points. In the version that was aired, only five out of the eight questions for Dulcé were included; and, out of five of those questions, she answered three correct. The fourth correct answer would have come from one of the three questions edited out for time or content.

It was the first time that Brian answered all eight Lightning round questions correct. The last time a panelist answered all eight questions correct was Faith Salie on the 2022-07-30 show.
