    Prior to becoming host of “Wait, Wait” in 1998, Peter Sagal had a varied career including stints as a playwright, screenwriter, stage director, actor, extra in a Michael Jackson video, travel writer, essayist, ghostwriter and staff writer for a motorcycle magazine. In October 2007, Harper Collins published Sagal’s first book, The Book of Vice: Naughty Things and How to Do Them, a series of essays about bad behavior, which was released in paperback in 2008.

    Carl Kasell is the official judge and scorekeeper for “Wait, Wait” and is an all-around genius and great guy. A veteran broadcaster, Kasell launched his radio career more than 50 years ago. He was a newscaster for NPR’s daily newsmagazine Morning Edition from the show’s beginning in 1979 until December 2009. Kasell sometimes moonlights as a magician.
