From NPR and WBEC Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz. I am the anchorman, the anchor myth, the anchor legend, Bill Curtis.
And here is your host at the San Diego Civic Theater in San Diego, California, Peter Sago.
Thank you, Bill. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Thank you, San Diego. We have a great show for you today because later on, we're going to be talking to a true icon, the man who not only made San Diego great, he kept it classy. That's right. Later on, we're going to be joined by the anchorman himself, Ron Burgundy.
Woo! Woo!
But right now, it's your chance to join our action news team. Give us a call. The number is 1-888-WAIT-WAIT. That's 1-888-924-8924. Let's welcome our first listener contestant. Hi, you're on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. Hi, this is Ben Johnson from Torrance, California. Hey, Ben in Torrance, up the coast in the LA area. What do you do there? I am a municipal planner. A municipal planner. You plan out municipalities. Yes. I know. It's very exciting work. Yeah, yeah. Well, Ben, let me introduce you to our panel this week. First up, a Peabody and an Emmy award-winning journalist and comedian. It's Alzo Slade. What's up, Ben? How you doing, buddy? Doing well. And yourself? So far, so good. Next, you've seen him and heard him in The Good Place, Loki, Star Trek, Lower Decks, and currently in Man on the Inside.
It's Eugene Cordero. Hey, Ben. Hey, Eugene. What's up? And you can see her in Beverly Hills, California at the Wallace Ennenberg Center for the Performing Arts on June 12th. Her podcast is Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone. It's Paula Poundstone.
Hey, Ben.
So, Ben, welcome to the show, as is our practice. We're going to start with who's Bill this time. Bill Curtis is going to read for you three quotations from this week's news. If you can correctly identify or explain just two of them, you know you'll win our prize. Any voice from our show you might choose in your voicemail. Are you ready to go?
How does Ron Burgundy reflect on his relationship with Bill Curtis?
Ready. All right, your first quote is about somebody who made a state visit this last week. People have switched them from no kings to okay, one king. So... That was a journalist quoted in The New Yorker about the reception. To whose state visit? King Charles. King Charles, yes! Charles III. The President of the United States was absolutely thrilled to host the King for a state visit. They have so much in common. They're both old white men who loved cheating on their wives. LAUGHTER You know that's what the fist bump was about, right? At the state dinner that Trump threw for the king, the king gave Trump a, this is true, a giant gold bell that said Trump on it to signify that his British friends were only a bell ring away.
And it was exciting. The president loved it. Melania was thrilled. She tied the bell around the president's neck so she knows when he's wandering near.
I wonder, when they come over from across the pond, I wonder if they ask, like, how long are y'all going to call this New York and New Jersey? Like, it's been around for quite a long time. I think you just call it, you know.
Well, if we just called it York and Jersey, they'd have to call their places Old York and Old Jersey.
Well, I think that's very American. Yeah.
The only part of the whole thing that I saw, really, I heard about the speech, but I saw the clip on the Internet of Trump pushing, cutting in the receiving line between the queen and King Charles. And they seemed surprised.
Really?
Because apparently the king's mother hadn't told him that Trump does that.
Yeah.
Normally, you have to be out on the streets to get that kind of rude stuff.
That's true.
You know, when you're in the roped-off section, you're generally safe.
Yeah. But... Well, it is true that Queen Elizabeth's presence was there at the dinner. I mean, he's only been king for a short while.
