Wait, Wait...

I have a long list of episodes from the NPR quiz show Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me! to eventually post and wasn't going to get to this one for a while, but it seems SO timely now.

On this week's 'Not My Job' segment of the show is Jane Krakowski.  And no, she doesn't talk about the MyPillow seditionist suing a newspaper for supposedly hurting his reputation as a Christian because of it untrue story that he was dating Ms. Krakowski.  Alas, this was recorded well-before that rumor made its way into the paper.

I find Jane Krakowski very talented, although I'm not a big fan since she tends to get typecast so often in a pretty one-dimensional, unlikeable role. Her interview with host Peter Sagal is a bit perfunctory, largely talking about her work in a pretty straight-forward way, though a more personal side does come through.  The most interesting part is her talking about making the new game show she'll be hosting - a remake of "Name That Tune" - which they shot during the pandemic in Australia, even flying in American contestants.

By the way, back to Mike Lindell suing for the false-story about dating Jane Krakowski hurting his Christian reputation, which I found to be my favorite story of the week.  I mean, seriously, how weak and thin does one's faith have to be to have it shaken by a story that you are dating Jane Krakowski??!  A blonde, beautiful, talented, successful actress.  In fact, if anyone's reputation is hurt by rumors of them dating, it is really hers.  (To her credit, she's had fun with her public response, writing about who her own favorite dream dates would be with.  And no, the MyPillow guy, was not on the list.)  By the way, what I think would be hilarious is if she sued Mike Lindell for hurting her reputation because he had claimed that the mere idea of her dating him was so repugnant that it damaged his reputation as a Christian.
