PETER SAGAL, HOST:

Now panel, who will be the next American ambassador to Cuba and why? Paula Poundstone?

PAULA POUNDSTONE: Amy Pascal from Sony...

(LAUGHTER)

POUNDSTONE: ...'Cause she's not a great secret keeper so our new relationship will be open and honest.

SAGAL: Roxanne Roberts?

ROXANNE ROBERTS: Stogie loving Bill Clinton because sometimes a cigar really is just a cigar.

SAGAL: And Maz Jobrani?

MAZ JOBRANI: Al Pacino because he was Tony Montana, say hello to my little diplomat.

(LAUGHTER)

BILL KURTIS, BYLINE: Well, if any of those people are chosen, we'll ask you about it on WAIT WAIT ...DON'T TELL ME.

SAGAL: Thank you Bill Kurtis. Thanks also to Paula Poundstone, Maz Jobrani and Roxanne Roberts. And thanks to all of you for listening. I'm Peter Sagal. We'll see you next week.
