Description
Who's Bill This Time?, Bluff the Listener about a celebrity gaining some new fans, Not My Job about "The Wizard of Oz", Listener Limerick Challenge, Panelist Predictions: what will be the next unexpected thing to show up in "Game of Thrones"?
Notes

After Peter Sagal provided the three choices for the first Not My Job question, the audience started shouting out "B" and shouted it out even louder after Ozzie Smith initially chose "C". The audience shouted out "A" right after Peter provided the choices for the second Not My Job question.

In the edited version of the show, during Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank, Peter Sagal did not ask Bill Kurtis how Tom Bodett did before moving on to asking Amy her set of questions. Bill did mention how many points Tom got while stating how Amy did after answering her questions.
