Notes
When providing an answer in the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank round, Peter mis-pronounced "Gina Lollobrigida" when stating that Canada's Parliament erupted in fighting and cat-calls when someone mis-pronounced her name, which lead to Charlie Pierce cat-calling Peter with "you're a cat, Peter".

Notes
Mo Rocca had a fit of humorously taking a long time come up with an answer during his Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank round and when asked by Peter to give him something, Mo slipped out "shit" to which Peter retorted with "don't give me that Mo". The answer to that particular question with "The Osmonds" and Peter gave Mo a hard time by saying to Mo, "Dude, I thought you loved the 70's", as Mo was a frequent commentator on VH1's "I Love the 70's" and other "I Love the..." series.

Notes
Carl Kasell miscalculated Roy Blount Jr.'s score at the end of the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank round by stating he had 5 correct answers (+10 points) and won with 14 points, even though Carl stated that Roy started the round with 3 points; therefore the correct score should be 13 (which is the score entered).
