Notes

The show's page on NPR.org listed Roxanne Roberts, Charlie Pierce and Adam Felber as the panelists on the show.

How scoring was done for Lightning True or False on this show changed to granting panelist a point for each correct answer and did not deduct a point for an incorrect answer.

This show introduces the Who's Carl Now? segment, which is an early version of the Who's Carl This Time?, and now, Who's Bill This Time?, segment.

For the first We'll Wait, You Tell Us, the listener contestant chose Roxanne's answer, but Margo had the correct answer.

The new Suck Up to Minnesota segment was try to woo Minnesota Public Radio to add the show to their radio schedule.

For the second We'll Wait, You Tell Us, the listener contestant chose Adam's answer, which was correct.
