Who's Carl This Time?; Opening Panel Round; Listener Limerick Challenge; Not My Job about football in the news; Week in Review; Who's Carl This Time? #2; Bluff the Listener about a famous person who used to do something quite different; Lightning Fill In The Blank; Panelist Predictions: what will be the next big television game show phenomenon?
The format of the first Who's Carl This Time? segment went back to the normal format where the questions are asked to the listener contestant without panelists providing multiple choice options.
Roy Blount, Jr. initially answered the last Lightning Fill In The Blank question with "spit", then changed his answer to "cigarettes, tobacco... marijuana" but did not say "marijuana" until Peter Sagal started saying "wacky tobaccy". Carl Kasell gave Roy credit for his changed answer.
The gong sound did not play before or during Adam Felber's last Lightning Fill In The Blank question even though Peter Sagal said it was the last question. Adam said "But there's no gong!", then the gong sound was played.
