Notes

For the third Not My Job question, Gayle King was trying to narrow her guess between "A" and "B". Peter Sagal reiterated that she was choosing between the Fish Cam and worst weatherman ever. Worst weatherman ever was actually "C" while the phrase "Go Fishing" meaning to predict the weather was "B". Gayle asked the audience for an assist and many shouted out "A", which is what Gayle chose as her answer. The correct answer was "C".
