Transcript

NPR believes in your right to be curious and ask questions. Like who's really behind that decision? How is that thing that happened going to affect my life? And why would anyone in their right mind name a podcast? Wait, wait, don't tell me. Wait, wait, don't tell me is NPR's weekly news quiz that brings together today's funniest comedians and a celebrity guest for a send up of the week's news. Host Peter Sagal and a rotating cast of comedian panelists turn the week's headlines into punchlines. When they say celebrity guests, they mean it. The A-list, everyone from Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson to Chaparron to Guar have come onto play. I've listened to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me for a long time. My mother likes Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. It is a phenomenal show. Many comedians I know have been on there. With Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, you can play along with the contestants and test your knowledge of the week's news. It's just like being there, except you have 0% chance of embarrassing yourself in front of a massive national audience. Follow and play along to NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me podcast. Yes, that's actually what it's called.
