From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz. I'm the voice that puts the fun in defun public broadcasting.
Chioki Ianson.
And here is your host at the Studebaker Theater in the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sagal.
Thank you, Chioki. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. We've got a fabulous show for you today. Later on, we are going to be talking to Amber Maycutt, known as the taxidermist to the stars. Now, among the many things we have already learned from her, stuffed animals are not actually stuffed. No, they're just trained to stand there very still.
We are always eager to hear your tricks of the trade, 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.

You are not the first person I've said that to that responded with that concern.
