Now, panel, what new words will we see on the SAT? Faith Salie.

SAGAL: Mike Birbiglia.

MIKE BIRBIGLIA: A future SAT word will be Facebook, example sentence, Remember Facebook?

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: And Adam Felber.

ADAM FELBER: The word will be perfect as in that thing that each and every one of you snowflakes are. Ah, just now take your 1,600 and go, you scamps.

CARL KASELL: Well, if any of those words appear, panel, we'll ask you about it on WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!
