NPR's irreverent news quiz show "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" broadcast live from Chicago, hosting writer and comedian Robert Smigel alongside panelists Josh Gondelman, Shantira Jackson, and Shane Torres. The episode aired with host Peter Sagal moderating the show's signature blend of topical humor and trivia games. Smigel, known for his work on "Saturday Night Live" and his puppet creation Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, joined the panel for the show's "Not My Job" segment, where guests answer questions outside their area of expertise. The live taping added to the energy of the long-running NPR staple, which combines comedy with news of the week.
