From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz. I've got a juicy dump truck voice. I'm Bill Curtis. And here's your host at the Studebaker Theater at the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sagal. Thank you, Bill. Thank you, everybody. Thank you so much.
We really do have a great show for you today. Later on, we're going to be talking to Amanda Seyfried, who used to be known for starring in things like Mamma Mia and the TV show The Dropout and Mean Girls. But after an appearance on The Tonight Show last week, she is now world famous for doing Joni Mitchell covers on the dulcimer.
So maybe instead of questions, we'll just have her do the whole blue album. But first, we want your help, so give us a call. The number is 1-888-WAIT-WAIT. That's 1-888-924-8924. Let's welcome our first listener contestant. Hi, you're on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.
Hi, Peter. This is Cameron from Bath, Maine. Cameron in Bath, Maine. How are things in Bath? Pretty cold, pretty windy. It's the city of ships, not great sailing weather. No, no. Are you a sailor? No, but I have two retired parents who just bought a pontoon boat, so I'll get back to you in a couple months. Wow.
What does one do with a pontoon boat? I've never known. You put their parents on it and you push it.
Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad. They're back a day later.
Hi, Cameron.
Hi.
Next, it's the actor and writer you can see in the show Two Square at the Oklahoma City Improv Saturday, March 15th, and at Comedy Sports Philadelphia on April 5th. It's Peter Gross. Hello. Hi there. And finally, making her debut on our panel, we are thrilled to be joined by the comedian whose third comedy special, Crushing It, is streaming on Netflix.
