Wait, Wait...

On this week’s ‘Not My Job’ segment of the NPR quiz show Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, the guest contestant is actor James Tyler Williams.  His amusing conversation with host Peter Sagal is a lot of fun as he tells interesting stories about his first job at the age of four on Sesame Street, being picked by Chris Rock to star in the series Everybody Hates Chris, and crossing paths with real-life teachers as a result of being in Abbott Elementary.

This is the full Wait, Wait… broadcast, but you can jump directly to the “Not My Job” segment, it starts right before the 21:15 mark.
