Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! is NPR's weekly hour-long quiz program. Each week on the radio listeners test their knowledge against a panel of the best and brightest in the news and entertainment world: Adam Felber; Roy Blount, Jr.; Paula Poundstone; Mo Rocca; Roxanne Roberts; Charlie Pierce; and others. This set features highlights from the popular "Not My Job" segment of the show, during which celebrity guest contestants answer questions on topics unrelated to their particular area of expertise.

Each week, more than three million listeners tune into Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! to test their knowledge of the week's news.

Because Henry Winkler played Fonzie on Happy Days, host Peter Sagal asks him about Ponzi schemes. For indie rock singer Neko Case, the questions are about Necco Wafers.

The first Wait Wait . . . Don't Tell Me! collection focused on the best of the Not My Job segment of the program. This second collection skims the cream off the entire archive of the show, with selections from Who's Carl This Time?, Lightning Fill in the Blank, The Listener Limerick Challenge, Not My Job! and more.
