WKSU and WCPN Present 'Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!' in Cleveland on June 28


One of public radio's favorite programs, Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! has been making American's laugh (with, not at) the news since 1998. The popular show comes to Cleveland on June 28 at the State Theatre in PlayhouseSquare. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the taping will last at least until 9:30 p.m. Peter Sagal, Carl Kasell and the panel will take the stage and offer their perspectives on the week's news as 89.7 WKSU and 90.3 WCPN ideastream present this live event.

Cleveland native son Drew Carey will be live at the State Theatre as the "Not My Job" guest! The panel includes Mo Rocca, Kyrie O'Connor and Alonzo Bodden.

Tickets are now on sale through the PlayhouseSquare box office online at PlayhouseSquare.org or by calling (216) 241-6000 or (866) 546-1353.



PANELIST BIOS:
Alonzo Bodden is an international headliner, having performed comedy shows for audiences worldwide. Since winning season three of Last Comic Standing, Bodden has quickly made a name for himself. He hosted numerous shows on the Speed and Travel Channels - including 101 Cars You Must Drive and America's Worst Drivers - and produced a one-hour comedy special for Showtime, Who's Paying Attention? He can also be seen as a host of the new ITV show Inside the Vault. He is single, likes jazz and, of course, long walks on the beach (as long as that doesn't mean getting in the water). Find a link to his Who's Paying Attention? podcast at alonzolive.com.

Kyrie O'Connor is deputy managing editor/features at the Houston Chronicle and writer of the daily blog MeMo on the Houston Chronicle Web site. Before becoming a Texan by choice in 2003, she was assistant managing editor/features at The Hartford Courant in Connecticut. Her articles and book reviews have appeared in newspapers nationwide, and in Commonweal magazine. She devotes her time to tending an epileptic 120-lb. chocolate Lab, supporting a bad soy latte jones, and downloading transgressive ringtones onto her celly. She is aesthetically but not morally opposed to the inside-out Reese's peanut butter cup.

Mo Rocca is a correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood and the host of The Tomorrow Show with Mo Rocca on CBSNews.com. He has appeared on most every cable network, including Telemundo, where he wowed audiences in a small but pivotal role in the hit telenovela Amor Descarado. He appeared on Broadway in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. His book, All The Presidents' Pets, blows the lid off the White House's deepest, darkest secrets.
