Line 10:

The [[prize]] for winning any game is to have Carl Kasell record the greeting on the contestant's home [[answering machine]].

In between games, the ever-lame Peter Sagal asks the panelists questions from the week's news and the panelists earn points by giving correct answers. A panelist also earns a point if a contestant chooses his/her story in the '''Bluff the Listener''' game, whether that story was true or made-up. At the end of the show, the panelists take a '''Lightning Fill-In-The-Blank''' quiz. Each panelist is given eight questions and scores 2 points for each correct answer. After the quiz all the points are totaled and the panelist with the highest score is declared the week's champion. Panelists do not receive prizes for winning.

''Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!'' is produced at the studios of [[WBEZ]] in [[Chicago]] ([[Chicago Public Radio]]). A few times a year the cast travels to various cities in the [[United States]] and produces a road show in front of a live audience. Beginning May 12, 2005, the show will be recorded on most Thursday nights in front of an audience at the Bank One auditorium in Chicago.
