Wait, Wait...
In order to honor the start of the baseball season which begins this week, the guest contestant on this ‘Not My Job’ segment of the NPR quiz show Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me! is Jason Benetti, the new play-by-play announcer for NBC Sunday Night Baseball. He has a fun (and often very funny) interview with host Peter Sagal, discussing his start in broadcasting when he announced his high school marching band competitions. And later moving up to the national electricians championship and the hurdles he faced with doing ad-libs for it. Finally making it to the Major Leagues with the Chicago White Sox and then Detroit Tigers.
This is the full Wait, Wait… broadcast, but you can jump directly to the “Not My Job” segment, it starts a bit after the 21:00 mark.
