Is that Wait Wait Don't Tell me?


I like that show. There are a few shows that I do like on NPR. That show, Car Talk, and A Prairie Home Companion (but I think all Lutherans are supposed to like that one).

I'll need to catch the podcast for this weekend's ep

ehe. My Midwestern Catholic fiancée just doesn't 'get' A Prairie Home Companion.

Paula is a genius! She absolutely kills it on Wait, Wait.

6/6/2010 10:48:32 AM

She's asexual.

6/6/2010 11:09:58 AM

no. Actually she's a pederast. And a poor drunk driver.

All I want for Christmas is Carl Kasell's voice on my home answering machine... XD
Anyone seen Peter Sagal in person, or what he looks like? He's... not nearly what I was expecting...

I dig a good bit of NPR programming, but Wait Wait...Stop Boring Me! doesn't do the trick.

I haven't seen any of her recent material, but, at the very least, Paula Poundstone used to be a pretty awesome comic. I always loved her bits about her cats and Pop-Tarts.

That bitch has been annoying me for 20 years.

^^^ You probably think Larry the Cable Guy is funny, too.

6/6/2010 1:21:53 PM

I was never into her standup, but she is a genuinely witty person. Very quick.

6/6/2010 1:24:43 PM

^^you probably think Mario Cantone is funny, too.

6/6/2010 2:02:31 PM

I would like to know more about Paula Poundstone's pederasty

please enlighten me

6/6/2010 2:16:17 PM

not much is known in terms of details. she was definitely driving drunk with her children. she was charged with drunk driving and child endangerment or whatever. she also received (several) charges for lewd acts with a girl under 14. through plea bargain, the lewd act charges were dropped. she ended up with probation and court mandated AA. she also lost a couple foster care kids through the ordeal.

6/6/2010 2:28:04 PM

^^^ never heard of said person, not interested in googling either

6/6/2010 2:43:26 PM

eyah i was curious as to what the outcome of that was

it was like, you heard of the charges, then never heard anything about it again,

she disappeared for a while, then has had a career revival.

idk

Me too

Also, Wait Wait is always great when Paula Poundstone is on. And Roy Blount Jr. makes me laugh, if only because his ramblings remind me of my grandpa

It's not her.

Quote :

" she was also made the voice of Home Movies mom character Paula Small for the show's first five episodes, which aired on UPN. Between the show's 1999 UPN cancellation and 2000 revival on Cartoon Network she chose to leave the show, being replaced by Janine Ditullio. The character's name and some of her appearance were modeled after Poundstone.[citation needed]"

I thought that show kind of sucked anyway.

Later seasons were better when they started focusing more on McGuirk.
