I've never met a quiz I didn't want to ace, so I was excited to test my knowledge on @waitwait Don't Tell Me. Thank to @joshgondelman and the amazing panelists for having me.

Thrilled (and, honestly a little shocked) that the incredible Malala Yousafzai is our guest this week!
She and guest host @joshgondelman will talk Nobels, Oscars, and Beyoncé vs. Taylor Swift.
Join us this weekend, because you wouldn’t want to disappoint Malala, would you?

Our guest this week is Geena Davis (@GeenaDavisOrg)! We'll be talking about everything from Thelma and Louise to her early gig as a living mannequin, to her show @CBSUnstoppable.
So, grab your best friend, hop in a '66 Thunderbird, turn the radio on, and watch out for cliffs!

Got to guest host @waitwait this week with incredible panelists @atpburke @funnyhelenhong and @zainabjohnson. Our Not My Job Guest was the legendary @theebillyporter. You can't see it cause it's radio but we were both wearing this outfit.

Today we wish a resounding "Happy 30th Birthday!" to our own @petersagal!
Peter is one of the smartest, funniest, and most generous souls we know, which is probably why he insisted that, in lieu of gifts, you just Venmo me directly

Enjoyed joining @petersagal for a memorable and hilarious taping of @WaitWait. I shared a bit about @StateDept’s work and managed to land on some correct answers. Tune in on Saturday to find out how I did.

Great to be back in Chicago, a truly wonderful American city. Come with me as I visit our @travelgov passport agency, Ukraine’s diaspora community, @UChicago, record @waitwait, and more!
