One of my long-favorite radio show's is the hugely entertaining current events quiz show, Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me! with host and the show's creator Peter Sagal, on NPR. It used to be broadcast out of Milwaukee, though a few years back moved down to Chicago. This isn't the whole program, but from their segment, "Not My Job." It's where they have some celebrity or public figure call in, interview them a bit, and then ask three questions about something that has nothing to do with their area of expertise. (If they get two right, a listener wins a prize.)
The call-in guests are pretty eclectic. A few years ago, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer played the game. Just last week, they had Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez. And other recent shows had Ice Cube, chef Jacques Pepin, Jeff Daniels, CNN's Jake Tapper, Cindy Crawford, and two-time Tony-winner Sutton Foster. Here from today's show is guest Richard Dreyfuss, phoning in. Peter Sagal is off this week, and the fill-in host is Mike Petzka. And remember, if you answer two out of three questions correctly, you get a prize...
