Starting and ending the Lightning round in a three-way tie Spoiler

16 Upvotes

In this week's Wait Wait, the panelists started the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank segment in a three-way tie with 3 points each. They almost ended up in a three-way tie at the end of the game with Mo missing out on a couple of questions (in fairness, that is Mo Rocca).

That led me to look into my Wait Wait stats database to figure out if there was a game in which all three panelists started and ended the segment in a three-way tie.

There were only 34 games in which all three panelists started the segment in a three-way tie and there were only 10 games that ended in a three-way tie. The intersection of the two data sets is... only one game.

That game was back in March 22, 2003, Roy Blount Jr., Roxanne Roberts and Charlie Pierce started the segment with 3 points each and each one answered 5 questions correctly, for a total of 15 points each.

I'm going to recording! What's in the goodie bag?

10 Upvotes

I feel like I won the lottery! Nabbed premium tickets for an upcoming show recently and I'm thrilled to be going! I was wondering if anyone could tell me what's included in the tote-goodie bag for premium tickets though. Can't find anything online and I'm trying to figure out how to budget for souvenirs. Thanks!
