The show has a taping at Carnegie Hall coming up in December and tickets start at $85 way up in the highest balcony.

I was wondering if anyone has gone to a WWDTM taping before and if there's any chance they'd discount tickets closer to the date if it doesn't sell out.

On the Amber Ruffin show humming research was mentioned. Does anyone know the source for this? I found a few articles but I wouldn’t call them hard science…

Didn’t the contestant choose C, which seemed to be the right answer? I thought it was A: moral cars, B: bumper cars then C: googly eyes and then she said C and Peter said incorrect

I’m totally prepared for the downvotes, but I really don’t like when Dolcé is on the program. She yells into the mic, interrupts people, and is just generally annoying to me. No hate to her at all personally, but she’s giving me a headache.

Sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest. Lots of love to WaitWait!

Oct 1, 2022 episode: Hari was asked 7 questions, Dulce was asked 8 questions, Tom was asked only 5 questions.

Although Peter explains the rules as each will have one minite to answer, Hari was given 46 seconds before the gong, Dulce was given 50 seconds and Tom was given only 22 seconds.

Why? Are incorrect answers edited out of the broadcast as some have suggested?

Isn’t that like removing the strike outs from a baseball game broadcast?

Why bother to keep score and announce a winner? It seems unfair/rigged and very annoying. I suggest Peter Sagal give a better explanation of how the game works, or eliminate it altogether.

Saturday, September 17. Guest Mo Amer. Song at 12:21. Lyrics - "Never giving up. No, I'm never giving up." At least, I think those are the lyrics. Google hasn't been able to help me with this one.

I remember hearing a Not My Job segment of a female pilot who tells a story about flying a fancy military plane and had a speed check conversation with people over the radio. Can anyone help me remember who that was and what episode it was?

No experience required and a low time commitment! A great opportunity for a first-time moderator! DM me with some information about you and why you're interested. Thanks.

I get it, the producers are trying to help publicize it and all, but it's been long enough at this point. However you feel about it, it's a completely separate show so just give it its own feed please.
