Notes

For the first Not My Job question, the audience yelled out what sounded like "C" but Olivia Munn couldn't distinguish if the audience were yelling "B" or "C". Olivia asked them to yell "Banana" for "B" or "Cat" for "C". The audience yelled out "Cat", though Olivia then said that it distinguishing between "Banana" and "Cat" from the stage was difficult. Olivia went with "C", which was the correct answer. The first and third Not My Job questions were about "Friends" and the second question was about "Neighbours".

When Negin Farsad asked how did Peter Grosz did, Bill Kurtis said, "Well, in my 12 years here, we've never had a three-way tie." This was the second time where all three panelists started and ended in a three-way tie, but the first time it happened with Bill as the scorekeeper. The first time all three panelists started and ended in a three-way tie was on the 2003-03-22 show with Carl Kasell as the scorekeeper.

It was also not the first time where all three panelists ended in a three-way tie where Bill was the scorekeeper, but rather the fifth time. The previous four times that it happened with Bill as the scorekeeper were: 2014-09-06, 2015-11-07, 2019-03-09, and 2023-07-22.
