Who's Bill This Time?, Bluff the Listener about a show that couldn't go on, Not My Job about piñatas, What Is Martha Stewart Up To? Listener Limerick Challenge, Panelist Predictions: what will be the most surprising tax write-off this year?
While Shane O'Neil was reading his bluff story, Shane started singing a portion of "I Will Always Love You" and passed it over to the audience to continue singing; and, they did.
Kaila Mullady initially chose "A" for the third Not My Job question and Peter Sagal was "desparately trying to encourage" Kaila to reconsider "B". Kaila chose "B" and that was the correct answer. When Peter asked Bill Kurtis how Kaila did, Bill started to beatbox before saying that Kaila got 2 points and won for the listener contestant.
