Wait, Wait...

I mentioned the other day how current Supreme Court Stephen Breyer once appeared as a guest on the wonderful, NPR current events comedy show, Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!", playing the "Not My Job" quiz.  I tracked down the date, which was May 24, 2007.  And even more happily, I was able to track down the segment. 



The "Not My Job" quiz is where the show's creator and host Peter Sagal (pronounced "SAY-gul") briefly and whimsically interviews the public figure guest who's called in and then asks three questions in some area having absolutely nothing to do with their area of expertise.  It's always amusing to find out how far away from that expertise the topic is.  If the guest answers two questions correctly, a pre-selected listener wins a prize.



Most especially with the Supreme Court in the news so prominently, I figured that this would be as good a time as any to play it.



Oyez, oyez.  Here, on a quiz show, is the good Justice.
