Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!®
Sundays at 6AM and 10AM on WBFO
Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!, hosted by Peter Sagal, airs on WBFO on Sundays from 6-7AM, and again from 10-11AM. Sagal guides a rotating panel of writers, journalists and NPR personalities, along with listeners, through a series of games that test their knowledge of the week's news, as well as their wit.
NPR News' Carl Kasell serves as judge and scorekeeper.
This humorous and informative show features games that include: "Who's Carl This Time," in which contestants guess who Carl Kasell is impersonating while he quotes the week's news; "Listener Limerick Challenge," where listeners try to fill in the last line of a news-based limerick; "Not My Job," in which NPR hosts and reporters answer questions on topics outside their areas of expertise, and "Lightning True and False," the final speed round.
The "Not My Job" segment offers public radio's most coveted prize to listeners who provide two or more correct answers: Carl Kasell's voice saying the outgoing message on the listener's home answering machine.
Hear Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!, Sunday morning at 6, and again at 10AM following Weekend Edition Sunday on WBFO.
