Notes

Jesse Klein stated that she was the first woman guest host of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!; but, Susan Stamberg was actually the first woman guest host the show back in August 2000. The show that Susan hosted aired on 2000-08-12.

During Alonzo Bodden's Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank round, Alonzo answered the last question in the round with "Ran". The official, correct answer was "waited, got impatient and left". Alonzo wanted Bill to give him the points. Bill stated that hew would get "two points for that answer"; but, that was not reflected in the final score.
