Public radio fans don’t have to wait wait any longer — the NPR news quiz show is coming back to Phoenix for the first time since 2014.
Peter Sagal and Bill Kurtis, hosts of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, are taking their weekly comedy show on the road to Arizona Financial Theatre on Thursday, Dec. 4.
