I'm the Spirit of Christmas who visit you at midnight and

then ends up staying for breakfast.

Bill Curtis and here is your host at the Studebaker Theater and the Fine Arts

building in downtown Chicago Peter Sego.

Thank you Bill. Thank you everybody so we have made it to the end of our 25th anniversary year and now it is time to party.

The roof, the roof is on fire. But before that we still have

two more weeks to celebrate the fact we've been able to do this for a

quarter century helped in part because really impressive people keep showing up to

talk to us for example Oscar winning actor Gina Davis. When she joined this in February of this year, she told guest host Tom Papa that she was a

fan of ours.

Hopefully, she wasn't just auditioning for the role of NPR NER. Gina Davis, welcome to Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.

Oh,

I'm so excited. I listen every week and so I'm like really excited to be on the film.

That's nice to hear.

That's so nice to talk to you. It really is an honor. I can't can't when you go down the list of of

your films I mean there's such big impactful films throughout your career it's

amazing so this yeah like arts girls are. That's the top of my list.

Pretty much all of your roles have been iconic,

but we heard one of your earliest acting gigs

was at Ann Taylor, is that right?
