About this event
NPR’s Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! records its live tapings at the Studebaker Theater inside the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois. Hosted by Peter Sagal alongside announcer/judge Bill Kurtis, the Peabody Award-winning comedy news quiz features a rotating panel of comedians, writers, and journalists reviewing the week’s headlines. Audience members can watch the “Not My Job” celebrity guest interview recorded live, which is later edited down into the standard 1-hour weekend radio broadcast.
