Best Of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! with guests and segments from the past year
Che "Rhymefest" Smith was the guest scorekeeper for the 2025-09-13 show with Bob Costas as the Not My Job guest.
Both the Bluff the Listener segment and the Not My Job segment with Carissa Moore were from the second show recorded on 2025-10-10 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Since the Bluff the Listener segment is unique to this Best Of show, both the chosen panelist and the panelist with the correct story have been entered.
For Carissa Moore's second Not My Job question, she liked "A" and she also liked how Peter Sagal said "leather cardigan" for "B". Carissa asked Peter if both "A" and "B" are incorrect, leaving "C" to be the correct answer. Peter confirmed that "C" was the correct answer and that is what Carissa chose for her answer, which she got credit.
For the Panel Questions segment, the NPR.org transcripts lists the second panelist as Emmy Blotnick, even though the panelist sounds more like Amy Dickinson. Amy Dickinson, Alonzo Bodden and Shane O'Neill were the panelists for the 2025-09-06 show. Thus, I have included Amy into the list of panelists. The panel question for Alex Edelman was from the 2025-10-25 show with Hari Kondabolu and Faith Salie on the panel.
