From NPR and WBEC Chicago, this is, wait, wait, don't tell me the NPR news quiz.

Hey there, mom. Get a load of this bill. I'm Bill Curtis and here's your host, a man now available for Curbside pickup. Peter Segal.

Thank you, Bill, and thanks one more time to our fake audience, which this week is a grateful nation realizing that finally there will be no more debates.

We all know that the difference between radio and the movies is that the movies are all about sex appeal and nobody got our heart pounding harder than the sea monster in the Oscar-winning movie The Shape of Water.

What gills on that guy, am I right? So later on we're going to be talking to the man who played that character. He's now starring in Star Trek Discovery. His name is Doug Jones.

But remember, just be yourself when you call into play our games. The number is 1-triple eight. Wait, wait, that's 1-888-924-8924. Now let's welcome our first listener contestant.

Hi, you're on Wait, wait, don't tell me. Hi, I'm Vanessa. Hey Vanessa, what are you calling from? Portland, Oregon. Portland, Oregon.

I always ask everyone how they're doing, but you're from Portland. How are you doing? Well, I'm in college, so not super great. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, that must be tough. What are you studying out there? I'm studying public health. Oh, that is a very useful thing. How quickly can you graduate and come out and help us with all this crisis?

Two years?

All right, we'll try to hang on until then, Vanessa. Welcome to the show. Let me introduce you to our panel this week. First an actor and a writer who won't be sleeping until after the election. It's Peter Gross. Hi, Vanessa.

Next, it's a comedian and writer whose comedy, horror movie Extraordinary, is streaming now. It's Maeve Higgins.

Hi, Vanessa. I'm Welcome to Game.

And joining us on the panel for the first time, you can see him on Tacoma FD. He's a voice on Star Trek Lower Dex. It's Eugene Cordero.

How is Vanessa?

Now, Vanessa, welcome to the show. You're going to play Whose Bill This Time? Bill Curtis is going to read you three quotations from this week's news.

If you can correctly identify or explain just two of them, you'll win our prize. Any voice from our show you might choose for your voicemail. You ready to go?

Yeah. All right. Your first quote comes from the president. This week offering his strong unified closing campaign message. I take full responsibility. It's not my fault.

In what event did the president say the buck stops with me, but don't give me any bucks? The presidential debate.

Exactly right. It might have been the final presidential debate we ever have by 2028. Instead, we'll have battles in the blood pit to determine who will become the death chief.

Now, after the first debate, which was a complete cluster chat, the debate commission changed the rules for this week's final debate, saying that each candidate's mic will be muted while the other person makes their two-minute statements.

And America was like, wait, there's a button you can push and mute Donald Trump. You couldn't give us that four years ago.

As long as he's not the one pushing the button, I think it's just I think that's fine.
