Prediction

PETER SAGAL, HOST:

In just a minute, we're going to ask our panelists to predict what will be the next big awards show snafu. But first, let me tell you that support for NPR comes from NPR stations and Audible, offering a selection of audiobooks across a variety of genres including memoirs, mysteries and motivation for listening any time. Using the Audible app on smartphones or tablets, learn more at audible.com/listen.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, working with others to build a culture of health for all, on the web at rwjf.org. And Lumber Liquidators, a proud sponsor of NPR, offering more than 400 styles, including hardwood, bamboo, laminate and vinyl, with flooring specialists and hundreds of stores nationwide. More at lumberliquidators.com or 1-800-HARDWOOD.

WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME is a production of NPR and WBEZ Chicago in association with Urgent Haircut Productions. Doug Berman, benevolent overlord. Philip Goedickie writes our limericks. Our house manager is Don Hall. Our assistant house manager is Tyler Greene. Our intern is Kijin Higashibaba. Our web guru, that's Beth Novey. BJ Leiderman composed our theme. Our program is produced by Miles Doornbos with thanks this week to our friend Adam Burke. Technical direction is from Lorna White. Our CFO, that's Ann Nguyen. Our production coordinator is Robert Neuhaus. Our senior producer is Ian Chillag. And the executive producer of WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME is Mike - why yes, that is a new standing desk, why do you ask? - Danforth.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: Now, panel, what will be the next awards show screw up? Roxanne Roberts.

ROXANNE ROBERTS: In a historical snafu, the Emmys will accidently give best actor in a supporting role to Mike Pence when it should have gone to Alec Baldwin.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: Mo Rocca.

MO ROCCA: Warren Beatty will mistakenly present this year's Kids Choice Award to "Moana" before he correctly presents it to "Moonlight."

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: And Faith Salie.

FAITH SALIE: Vladimir Putin will make sure the Tonys are hosted by Scott Baio.

(LAUGHTER)

BILL KURTIS: Well, if any of that happens, panel, we'll ask you about it on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME.

(APPLAUSE)

SAGAL: Thank you, Bill Kurtis. Thanks to Roxanne, Mo, Faith. Thanks to all of you for listening. I'm Peter Sagal. We will see you next week.
