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

Even though Rachel Coster did not get a ding of a bell for correctly answering her fourth Lightning Fill In The Blank question, she still received credit for it.

Notes

Katie Nolan makes her second appearance on the show and both shows have had guest hosts.

After Margo Price chose "C" as the answer for the first Not My Job question, Negin Farsad gave Margo a chance to reconsider her choice and Alzo Slade provided a strong hint that the correct answer ia "A". Margo changed from "C" to "A" and got a point. For the second Not My Job question, Margo chose "B". Alzo provided a strong hint that "A" was the correct answer and Margo switched to "A".
