It takes more than a couple brain cells to make this show what it is... so let's give credit where credit's due:

Peter Sagal/Host (handing out news by sidecar)
Prior to becoming host of Wait Wait in 1998, Peter had a
varied career including stints as a playwright, screenwriter, stage director, actor, extra in a Michael Jackson video, travel writer, essayist, ghostwriter and staff writer for a motorcycle magazine. He lives in the Chicago area with his family, and is working on a book titled The Big Book of Vices, about how people -- other people, of course -- misbehave. Since he now has his own Web site, he is finally a real boy.

Carl Kasell/Official Judge and Scorekeeper
Carl Kasell is an all-around genius and great guy. He has also been a newscaster for NPR's daily news-magazine Morning Edition since its inception in 1979. His newscasts on Morning Edition can be heard at the top of the hour, every weekday morning on public radio stations nationwide. A veteran broadcaster, Kasell launched his radio career more than 50 years ago. He sometimes moonlights as a magician.
