Notes

Carl Kasell did not mention the location where Peter Sagal was recording from during the show. A presumption is made that Peter is recording from WBEZ Studios, the usual location for shows from that time.

All three questions for the first Who's Carl This Time? segment were multiple choice questions where each panelist provided a possible answer, but only one had the correct answer. The listener contestant chose Roxanne Roberts for the first question, but Charlie Pierce had the correct answer. For the second question, the listener chose Charlie, but Roxanne had the correct answer. For the third question, the listener chose Charlie, but Adam Felber had the correct answer.
