  • 217 - Take A Wild Guess/Tone Note (w/ Kristen Schaal and Matt Oberg)
    Mar 9 2026

    On this episode of ClueLess, host Elliott Kalan welcomes back his hilarious pals Kristen Schaal (Bob’s Burgers, What We Do In The Shadows, The Last Man On Earth) and Matt Oberg (Abbott Elementary, The Real O’Neals, Harley Quinn) to get into the ballpark and Take A Wild Guess about the popularity of English words! Then, it’s a return of our old friend Tone Note, Elliott will give you a clue and the answer is a two word phrase where the words are anagrams of each other, just like the game’s name, Tone Note! The MegaClue will ask you for a monstrously complex anagram!


    Puzzles in this episode are by Jason Reich.

    Script by Elliott Kalan.

    On this episode of ClueLess, it’s like a dang dictionary in here with all these words! Host Elliott Kalan invites his hilarious friends Kristen Schaal (Bob’s Burgers, What We Do In The Shadows, The Last Man On Earth) and Matt Oberg (Abbott Elementary, The Real O’Neals, Harley Quinn) to contend with both a sandwich made out of words and then, incredibly, a centipede also made out of words! Get your brain limber, get a pen and paper, and settle in for a hilarious bonus-length episode testing your word recall! Kristen would really like you to know: cigarettes are NOT cool.
