Hey, a quick note before we start today's show. You may have heard that President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR. This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country. This puts everything you love about NPR in danger, including even our show.
And without us, where would the nation get its essential supply of dad jokes? We are proud to be here doing what we do for you, and now we have to ask you to be here for us. Visit donate.npr.org to give. And if you already support us via NPR Plus or another means, thank you. Your support means so much to us and, of course, to the dads who need material.
From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz. I'm Alzo Slade filling in for Bill Curtis so I can finally tell Peter Sagal what to do. Here he is at the Studebaker Theater at the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois. Start talking now, Peter.
Thank you, Alzo. And thank you, everybody. Thanks for being here with us. It is a good day. It's an exciting time. Later on, we're going to be talking to Nathan Lane, who is star of Stage and Screen, and now he's the star of the new sitcom Mid-Century Modern, which people are calling the Gay Golden Girls.

It pays more.
And I'm glad you believed that when we told you. And we are glad you listeners out there are ready to do your job, which is to call in and play our games. 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, Peter. It's Allison Becker from Indianapolis, Indiana.
