NPR’s ‘Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!’ Live at the Fox Theatre

Buy Tickets »

Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!, the NPR comedy news quiz show is coming back to Detroit after years away! WDET and Michigan Public are thrilled to welcome the Peabody Award-winning comedy news quiz show to the Fox Theatre on Thursday, November 14.  Host Peter Sagal will lead a panel of comedians, writers, listener contestants and a secret celebrity guest through a rollicking review of the week’s news. Contestants vie for the most coveted prize in all of public radio: a custom-recorded greeting by any of the cast members for their voicemail.

“Every week, Wait, Wait…. Don’t Tell Me! records in front of a live audience, then carefully edits out all the raunchy, inappropriate, shocking and hilarious stuff so we can broadcast something that doesn‘t get NPR in trouble… well, more trouble. The only way you can find out what our panelists and guests really think about the news is to come see for yourself. And please — don’t tell NPR. Also, we’re all much more attractive than we sound.” -WWDTM
