- Conan O'Brien Score: 1
Who's Bill This Time?, Bluff the Listener about a surprising effort to clean up the planet, Not My Job about hot cocoa, Listener Limerick Challenge, Panelist Predictions: what will be the next self-help trend?
When asked how Conan O'Brien did on the show, Bill Kurtis said that he would throw the score out because anything Conan says is right.
Mo Rocca really pulled a Mo Rocca during the Lightning Fill In The Blank segment when trying to come up with an answer for the 5th question. Alonzo Bodden would also try to pull a Mo Rocca for his second Lightning question. Peter Sagal also accepted Alonzo's answer of "collusion" for his first Lightning question.
Only five of Alonzo's eight Lightning Fill In The Blank questions were included in the edited version of the show and Bill stated that Alonzo had three points. One of the three points would have been in one of the three questions that was cut out.
