From NPR in WBEZ Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz Show. I'm Tim Meadows, and I'm a little disappointed that this is what Bill Curtis meant when he invited me to be part of his Christmas vacation. And here's our host at the Studebaker Theater in the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sagal.

Thank you, Tim. Thank you. And as Tim said, Bill took off early for his Christmas break, but we're so happy to have you with us because who better to share these wonderful segments from the past year than somebody who hasn't heard them yet?

Let's start with what may be a true highlight of a year filled with them. In September, we went to Kansas City at the same time as legendary singer Dionne Warwick, who was there on tour, and she joined us on stage to talk about her incredible life. Here is an extended version of our talk with her. Thank you. So your first of many hits, Don't Make Me Over, was released in 1962. Sure was.

93.072 - 98.598 Peter Sagal

It's 62 years later, and you are still performing. Are you still enjoying it? Are you having fun?

98.959 - 123.251 Dionne Warwick

Oh, yeah. I mean, it's something I've always tell people. I never wanted to work. To work. Ever. No. And when this ever becomes a job, that's when I take my ballet slippers and do my pirouette and say, bye.

123.291 - 125.732 Peter Sagal

Do you have any idea what you'd do instead?

127.092 - 133.474 Dionne Warwick

Oh, yeah. Sure. Well, like what? Well, I have already an interior design company. There you go.
