Description

Who's Bill This Time?; Panel Questions; Bluff the Listener about historical facts being proved wrong; Not My Job about baristas; Panel Questions; Listener Limerick Challenge; Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank; Panelist Predictions: After the Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson story broke there, what will be the next hot celebrity gossip we get from CBS Sunday Morning?

Notes

Although the listener contestant for the Who's Bill This Time? segment only answered two out of three questions correct, Bill Kurtis gave all three points; in part, due to the answer provided for the third question.

Natasha Rothwell originally chose "C" for the third Not My Job question, then changed her answer to "A" after Peter Sagal explained the premise to Natasha. She ended up changing her answer to "B". When Peter asked Bill how Natasha did, Bill said "3 and 0!" even though Natasha only answered two questions correct. The exception has been noted.

Who's Bill This Time?; Panel Questions; Bluff the Listener about an unexpected oral hygiene oopsie; Not My Job about bad guests; Panel Questions; Listener Limerick Challenge; Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank; Panelist Predictions: what will be the title of the movie that Tom Cruise will make when he's 100 years old?

Notes

While explaining the answer for the first Not My Job question, Peter Sagal said that Rod Stewart and his band was also banned from the same hotel chain as The Who's Keith Moon (which was the premise of the first Not My Job question). Peter then explain how they got around the ban by checking in as Fleetwood Mac. By doing so, Peter gave away the answer for the second Not My Job question. Peter then said that it was the first time that he accidentally gave away the answer to a following Not My Job question.

Something similar happened when Mark Bittman was the Not My Job guest back on 2013-04-13 with questions about the movie "Batman & Robin". Before Peter could ask Mark the first question, Faith Salie asked if that was the movie where Batman had nipples on his suit. That turned out to be the correct answer for the first question.

Another instance in which "C" was the correct answer for all three Not My Job questions.

Who's Bill This Time?; Panel Questions; Bluff the Listener about a well-intended moment between lovers gone awry; Not My Job about actual monsters that are green; Panel Questions; Listener Limerick Challenge; Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank; Panelist Predictions: now that Clemson University says double-dipping is okay, what surprising thing are they going to say is okay to do next?

Notes

While the Bluff the Listener contestant was guessing the correct story, the audience yelled out "B" for Joyelle Nicole Johnson's story. The listener contestant chose Joyelle's story, which was correct.

For the second Not My Job question, the audience seemed mixed between "B" and "C", but were more confident with "B" for the third question.

Another instance where all three panelists started Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank in a three-way tie.
