4.502 - 29.255 Bill Curtis

From NPR and WBEC Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz. Do I smell clam chowder? No, it's just my rich and creamy voice. I'm Bill Curtis, and here is your host at the Box Center Wang Theater in Boston, Massachusetts, Peter Stegall.

Thank you, Bill. Thank you, Boston. It's great to be back. We have a great show for you today. Later on, we're going to be joined by baseball legend Jim Rice. Yes, 50 years after he helped lead the Boston Red Sox to the World Series as a rookie, he now offers TV commentary on the current team.

51.028 - 65.292 Peter Sagal

So just to be fair, we're going to have the Red Sox starting infield to join us to critique his performance after he plays Not My Job. But first, it is your turn to swing for the fences. Give us a call to play our games. The number is 1-888-WAIT-WAIT. That's 1-888-924-8924. How are you around? Wait, wait, don't tell me.

72.336 - 76.178 Peter Sagal

Kansas City, we love it there. What do you do there?

77.239 - 79.3 Jennifer

I was the assistant director at a public library.

79.42 - 93.406 Peter Sagal

Yes, public librarians. The true badasses that we need. That's a great thing to do. You guys are under a lot of pressure, but I've never met a librarian who wilted under that kind of assault.

93.908 - 96.13 Jennifer

No, we've been pretty strong. It's all right.

96.77 - 110.502 Peter Sagal

Well, welcome to the show, Jennifer. Let me introduce you to our panel this week. First, she's a comedian headlining at The Lounge at the DC Improv July 11th to 13th, a proud Boston College graduate. It's Joelle Nicole Johnson.
