“'It is funny all the way through, and the celebrity guests show a surprising aptitude for understanding the rhythms of the program . . .”
—SFGate (SFGate )

Product Description

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! is NPR's weekly hour-long quiz program. Each week on the radio listeners test their knowledge against a panel of the best and brightest in the news and entertainment world: Adam Felber; Roy Blount, Jr.; Paula Poundstone; Mo Rocca; Roxanne Roberts; Charlie Pierce; and others.

This two-disk set features highlights from the popular "Not My Job" segment of the show, during which celebrity guest contestants answer questions on topics unrelated to their particular area of expertise. Tom Hanks, Terry Gross, Harold Ramis, Lee Smith, Sarah Silverman, Penn Jillette, Senator Barack Obama, Jeopardy Grand Champion Ken Jennings, and others compete for the ultimate prize: NPR veteran announcer Carl Kasell's voice on a lucky listener's answering machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't help but laugh, May 7, 2007

By	Rachel A. Wagner "smile" (AF Utah) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Often times I disagree with the opinions of the commentators but they express them in such a wry agreeable way that I can't help but laugh. I listen to this CD and the program podcast at work and my coworkers often wonder what it is that I am giggling over! I highly recommmend these CD's.

If you like the show, you'll love the audio cd. And if you don't listen to the show, you'll be amazed at how much fun it is! Try it, you'll love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Who says NPR is always serious?, February 13, 2008

By	Jeremy Epstein (Fairfax, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For those who think NPR is a bunch of boring folks, "Wait Wait" is a great weekly quiz show that's entertaining and (slightly) educational. This CD collection of the "Not my Job" sections from Wait Wait makes great listening - perfect for commutes, while running on a treadmill, etc.
