[[File:
A celebrity guest calls in (or occasionally appears onstage) to be interviewed by the host and the panelists as well as take a three-question multiple-choice quiz. In ''Wait Wait''{{'}}s early years, "Not My Job" guests were mainly pulled from NPR's roster of personalities and reporters; the pool of guests later expanded to include guests of greater celebrity. As the segment's title suggests, the guests are quizzed on topics that are not normally associated with their field of work. For example, former U.S. Secretary of State [[Madeleine Albright]] was asked questions on the history of [[Hugh Hefner]] and ''[[Playboy (magazine)|Playboy]]'' magazine,<ref>{{cite interview | subject=Madeleine Albright | interviewer=Peter Sagal |title=Not My Job! | url=https://www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/archrndwn/2003/dec/031206.waitwait.html | type=Interview: Audio | work=Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! | publisher=NPR/WGBH | date=December 6, 2003 | access-date=January 13, 2008}}</ref> while author [[Salman Rushdie]] was asked about the history of [[Pez]] candy.<ref>{{cite interview | subject=Salman Rushdie | interviewer=Peter Sagal |title=Not My Job! | url=https://www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/archrndwn/2001/sep/010908.waitwait.html | type=Interview: Audio | work=Wait Wait...

=== Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank ===
In the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank, each panelist has to answer as many questions as they can in 60 seconds with each correct answer earning the panelist 2 points. At the end there is a question whose answer gets an expanded clarification by Peter or whoever is guest hosting; this question usually deals with an especially odd or obscure news story from the week.
=== Panelist Predictions ===
Each panelist is asked to give their prediction of a story that may appear in the following week's news, often being prompted with a question that relates to a previously mentioned story. Sagal (or the week's host) does not award points, but jokes that if any of the stories are correctly predicted, they will be asked about it on the following episode.
