On this week's "Not My Job" segment of the NPR current events comedy-quiz show, Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!, the guest contestant is another of your typical comedy-quiz show guests, Charles Bolden, the head of NASA. His interview with host Peter Sagal is very charming, and often funny. And for a very amusing reason, the top of the quiz is particularly timley.

This is a very clever, lovely video that Samsung put together in advance of the Summer Olympic Games at Rio. It takes lines from dozens of national anthems around the world, puts them all together, and then adds music to it as one song.

Out of the archives, this week's contestant is June Echols from Richmond, Virginia. What I had written previously was -- Happily, I got the hidden composer style, which isn't regularly the case, so I suspect others will have a good chance of getting that, too. As for the hidden song, it's one of those that was on the tip of my tongue and I could tell I should know it, but just couldn't get it...and then with the song running out and mere seconds to go, sure that I'd missed out...bingo, I figured out what it was, and I shouted out the name, just under the wire. The tune is well-hidden for a specific reason which composer Bruce Adolph explains afterwards.
This is a pretty funny video done for Conan O'Brien's show that is supposedly audition tapes for the role of the young Han Solo in an upcoming film that was announced by Disney. A lot of fun cameos in it. If you saw the DNC montage video of pop stars and celebrities singing Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" for Hillary Clinton, here is the much-too-short parody of it done by Stephen Colbert. There might be a commercial at the beginning, but you should be able to click away after a few seconds. |
