Best of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! featuring favorite moments and some never-before-aired panelist questions
For the first panel round, the NPR transcripts list Helen Hong and "Unidentified Person #1" and "Unidentified Person #2". Unidentified Person #1 sounds very much like Roy Blount, Jr. and my best guess on who Unidentified Person #2 could be Jordan Carlos. Once a definitive answer has been obtained, that spot will be left blank.
The Bluff the Listener segment was from the 2018-09-08 show and not from a yet-to-be-aired show; thus, the chosen and correct data will not be entered for this show.
The Not My Job segment with Seth Meyers came from the 2018-12-07 live taping at Carnegie Hall in New York City, New York and was originally aired on the 2018-12-29 Best Of show.

Best Of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! celebrating Independence Day (the holiday and the movie) with some favorite guests and segments
Before playing a portion of the Not My Job segment with Rian Johnson, Peter Sagal said that they had Rian on back in 2013 when "The Last Jedi" came out. "The Last Jedi" came out in 2017 and the show that Rian was the Not My Job guest aired on 2018-01-13.
The show description listed on NPR.org listed "Ruth E. Gordon" as one of the Not My Job Guests. The correct name would be "Ruth E. Carter".
