Who could be joining NPR’s popular quiz show live at the Wolf Trap this evening? Wait, wait don’t tell me…it’s D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton! She will also be joined by Washington Post reporter Roxanne Roberts, VICE News correspondent Alzo Slade, and regular Wait, Wait panelist/woodworking legend Tom Bodett on the panel.

Fans of the show may already know that the quiz show consists of host Peter Sagal testing a panel of guests with trivia questions on what’s happening in the world today. The show normally tapes before an audience in Chicago, and occasionally tours, with stops this week in Vienna, Va, for local listeners to play along in person.
Norton will make her first appearance on the show tonight, in a rare Wait Wait stint from an elected official. Past recent guests have included Josh Groban, Nathan Lane, Kenan Thompson, and Mandy Moore. Friday night’s panelists have yet to be revealed.
There are a very limited number of tickets still available for tonight and tomorrow’s performance. They can be purchased here.
This post has been updated to correct the title for Delegate Norton.
