Jay Pritzker Pavilion says…

Before John Stewart & Co. revitalized the political-humor art form, Chicago Public Radio's nationally syndicated news quiz Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! was tickling listeners' ears with tall tales of politicians gone wild, news-based limerick challenges, and rapid-fire quizzes designed to test contestants' knowledge of current events. Tonight, join thousands of local public-radio fans and news buffs — along with host Peter Sagal and wisecracking panelist favorites Paula Poundstone, Mo Rocca, and Charlie Pierce — for a free live recording of the show at Millennium Park. You won't win Carl Kasell's voice on your home answering machine, but hey, you might just learn something.
