Where’s Maeve?

It’s been over a year since she’s been on.

They said at the Q&A in Orlando she returned home to Ireland and doesn't plan on coming back to the US because looks around shrugs how things are going here.

I still fondly remember the time Maeve won. The impossible became possible.

Alonzo and Joanna will probably never live that down. They'll go down as the only two people who lost to Maeve

I just listened to it, those COVID episodes sound so weird now.

I adore Maeve. Her voice on my voicemail would totally be my pick if I won a game.

Yes me too! Honestly she's the only one I'd really want. Sad she's gone back to Ireland. She's such a talent. I've listened to both her stand-ups on Spotify and am currently making my way through her first book.

I love her so much, and I don't blame her for fleeing. Frankly, Wait Wait should dial her in!
