-->'''Guest:''' "Yes."

--> '''Greg:''' "You two seem to have figured out the Occam's Razor of this game."

* ShoutOut: Accidentally played straight by some contestants who unnecessarily use “What is…” when answering a question; this often prompts the response: “This isn’t ''Jeopardy''” or "Would you like to rephrase your question in the form of an answer?".

* TakeThat: At the end of one game involving reading complaint emails the show had received, Ophira says they love to receive negative feedback and invites listeners to email them complaints... and then gives the email address for ''Wait Wait Don't Tell Me''.
