At the end of the Lightning Fill In The Blank segment on this week's Wait Wait, all three panelists started and ended in a three-way tie.

Bill Kurtis said, "Well, in my 12 years here, we've never had a three-way tie."

Until today's show, Bill has been the scorekeeper on four shows where all three panelists ended in a three-way tie: 2014-09-06, 2015-11-07, 2019-03-09, and 2023-07-22.

Alzo Slade was the guest scorekeeper on the 2025-12-13 show where another three-way tie happened.

I'll give Bill the benefit of the doubt here as this was the first time he's been a scorekeeper on a show where the panelists started and ended in a three-way tie.

Before Bill became a scorekeeper on the show, there was one instance of that back in 2003-03-22 when Carl Kasell was the scorekeeper.
