From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz.

I'm the seven-time winner of the Fort Lauderdale Wet Blazer Contest, Bill Curtis.

And here is your host at the Studebaker Theater in the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sagal.

Thank you, Bill.

Thank you.

Thanks, everybody.

It is spring break, and just like we did in college, everyone on our show is taking the opportunity to stay home and catch up on our homework.

Speak for yourself, dweeb.

I'm at a karaoke bar in Cabo, absolutely lit on tequila, singing Chapel Roan at the top of my lungs.

Okay, fine.

While Bill is having fun, the rest of us are reviewing our notes from the past year or so.

Delroy Lindo may not have won an Oscar for his role in the movie Sinners, but I am sure he was just as happy to join us back in January to talk about his amazing career.

Thank you.

I'm such a big fan of yours, I feel like I've seen you in movies and TV for a very long time, but I don't really associate you with one role, and I was wondering, do other people, do people recognize you mostly for one thing or another?

That said, it has always occurred to me, watching you in all kinds of different things, that your characters have a certain quality that they all share.

And I actually heard you tell a story, you were on stage quite recently with your good friend Denzel Washington.

And you told a story about how early on in your career you were approached by a guy

on a bicycle.

I think it was like you were getting your car.

And that guy seemed to nail it.
