Peter Sagal is, has been, and perhaps someday will be again, a husband, father, playwright, screenwriter, author, journalist, columnist, marathoner, Jeopardy contestant, dramaturg, podcast host, documentary host, foreign correspondent, wedding officiant and magician's assistant. But you probably know him as host of NPR’s irresistible Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me!
In 1997, Peter got a call from a friend telling him about a new show at NPR, which was looking for "funny people who read a lot of newspapers." He auditioned and appeared as a panelist on the first broadcast of Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me! in January 1998 and moved with his family to Chicago to become the host in May. In the more than two decades since, he has traveled across the country with the show – which is coming to the Wang Theatre at the Boch Center in Boston on October 20.
Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me! has over five million listeners, making it the most-listened-to hour on public radio. Peter has interviewed presidents, Nobel Prize winners, astronauts and rocket scientists; musicians; actors; and many, many others.
Who do you think was his favorite interviewee? This event offers you the chance to ask Peter questions and get to know the mad behind the microphone! And Peter will stay on after the event to take a picture with you!
The event will be hosted by GBH News’ Paul Signer.
