Description

Week in Review; Who's Carl This Time?; Not My Job about notable achievements in the televised past; Listener Limerick Challenge; Week in Review; Bluff the Listener about a new story that contains the three words: rock, whales and thousands (or their homophones); Who's Carl This Time? #2; Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank; Predictions: what will be Hillary Clinton's campaign slogan?

Notes

For Not My Job, there was a fourth option for "none of the above" for all three questions.

Instead of predicting headlines for the next week, the predictions were for a specific theme. Future Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! shows would replace "Predicting Next Week's Headlines" with "Panelist Predictions".
