Wait, wait - don’t photograph me



Carl Kasell & Peter Sagal

Originally uploaded by Chion Wolf.



Peter Sagal had a link at his blog to this fantastic Flickr photo set from last week’s taping of “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me,” which was on the road in Connecticut. It includes great photos of everyone involved — Peter, Carl Kasell, guest star Jane Curtin, and panelists Roy Blount Jr., Roxanne Roberts and Tom (”We’ll leave the light on for ya”) Bodett.

Beautiful Mommy

The other day, Newscoma posted about “My Beautiful Mommy,” a new book which attempts to explain to children about Mommy’s tummy tuck (or whatever). I didn’t post about it at the time, but I did forward the link to my California sister-in-law, who I thought would be amused and/or horrified. She was.

Anyway, I bring it all up to note that “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” pokes fun at the book this week. If you listen to the show on the online player, and want to jump to that segment, it’s in the “Listener Limerick Challenge.” (But why wouldn’t you want to listen to the whole show? Jane Curtin is this week’s guest for the “Not My Job” segment, and she’s quite funny.)
