Recensione

“What is it about National Public Radio's menu of shows that's so addictive? Among the best shows is Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me! is sassy, fast-paced, and irreverent. It is also one of National Public Radio's most popular programs.... A typical Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me! episode is a mix of offbeat questions and answers that prompt giggles and guffaws.” —Dayton Daily News

“...the seemingly staid NPR listeners went as wild as teens at a Britney Spears concert.... For fans of public radio news or its lighter side, that experience was magic indeed.” —Boston Globe (Praise for Wait, Wait Road Shows)

“...the program's rabid fans clamor for Sagal, and especially Kasell, like rock stars.” —Los Angeles Times (Praise for Wait, Wait Road Shows)
