Now, panel, what will Playboy do if bringing back nudity does not work to save their magazine? Tom Bodett.
TOM BODETT: Fake nudes. The women are naked, but you can believe they aren't.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Alexandra Petri.
ALEXANDRA PETRI: I think flip books, nude flip books. It's like porn if you go really quickly.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Or Roy Blunt Jr.
ROY BLOUNT JR: When nude doesn't work, try naked.
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
BILL KURTIS: Well, if that does work, Roy, we'll ask you about it on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME.
SAGAL: Thank you, Bill Kurtis. Thanks also to Tom Bodett, Alexandra Petri and Roy Blunt Jr. Thanks to all of you for listening. We're so glad you came.
