What is the significance of being live in Detroit?
From NPR and Easy Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz. Take a Michigander at this hunk of man. I'm Bill Curtis, and here is your host at the Fox Theater in Detroit, Michigan, Peter Segal. Thank you, Bill. Thanks, everybody.
It is such a great time to be in Detroit. The Lions are winning. The Tigers made the postseason. Downtown is thriving. We assume, because we don't live here, that it is all due solely to the efforts of Governor Gretchen Whitmer. She seems nice. So later on, we are going to have her here with us on stage so she can take all the credit.
But first, we want to hear briefly about where you're from before you answer our questions and play our games. The number to call 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 Charlie from Cleveland, Ohio.
Hi, Charlie. How are you? I'm well. All right.
Love that energy.
All right, it's that fun Midwestern rivalry. We love them. Let me just give you a chance, since you got booed by the Detroit News here, is there anything that you, as a native of Cleveland, would like to say to the people of Detroit in return? And keep it clean.
I'm not originally from here.
It's not his fault!
