Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me…brings the frivolity to KPCC
Tony Nagelmann
It’s the most listened to hour on KPCC’s weekly schedule, and it’s easily the goofiest show on NPR’s roster—“Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!” is ostensibly a quiz show but is really more about making fun of the news, politics and ourselves. The shows two hosts Peter Sagal & Carl Kasell, in Pasadena to tape L.A. editions of “Wait, Wait” join Patt in studio to get a behind the scenes look at the show and perhaps answer a quiz question or two.

Tender Greens
Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.

My question was the same as Joy's and has just been answered on-air, so I'll just say that we attended and really enjoyed last night's show! Seems the champagne made Peter a little cheeky!

Please ask Mr Sagal if he can stop Mr Rocca's making a mockery of the term 'lightning round'---his hesitations and playings-out makes me cringe near-weekly.
Also: in re. 'The Book of Vice': come on, were you _really_ that surprised that 'swingers' turn out to be doughy, Midwestern, Republicans? I thought that was the _stereotype_....
