Wait, Wait...

On this week’s ‘Not My Job’ segment of the NPR quiz show Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, the guest is PBS news reporter and host of Washington Week in Review Yamiche Alcindor. She and host Peter Sagal talk about a bit about how she became better known to the public because Trump didn’t like her questions – and they talk, too, about an early job of hers scaring ducks away from McDonalds. And an early job in news being the “dead whale reporter.” She also explains that when friends invite her to parties, they often put her the table with strangers because she’ll ask so many questions she’ll get everyone talk. The point is that it’s a surprisingly very-fun interview.

This the full Wait, Wait… broadcast, but if you want to jump directly to the “Not My Job” segment, it starts at the 18:00 mark.
