Notes

This show marks Bill Kurtis' final regular appearance as the judge and scorekeeper of the shoe before retiring. With his appearance on this show, this was Bill 600th overall appearance including regular, Best Of and repeat shows.

Another instance where all three choices for the third Not My Job question were correct.

At the end of the show, Peter Sagal gave Bill the honors of saying "This is NPR."
