Don’t tell me.

How about Howard Cosell’s voice?

Back in the day, a friend recorded Jim Rockford’s message to their machine.

For the nostalgic…

This was my very first experience seeing Carl Kasell’s name in print… after hearing it 10,000 times

I want Sean Connery’s voice for Siri. …oh well.

Great, for those of a certain age.

Who says he wasn’t living in her back room?????? :)

Wait Wait – Don’t Tell Me – - she won!!

I love that show! (RIP, Carl.)

imagine, a man of my stature being given away as a prize. i feel so cheap…

PR launched its weekly news quiz Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! in 1998, with Kasell as official judge and scorekeeper. Kasell featured in several segments including “Who’s Carl This Time?” and the “Listener Limerick Challenge.”

Prior to October 21, 2017, listeners who won a game on the show could have Kasell record a greeting for their home answering machine or voice mail system. More than 2,000 people have had his voice on their answering machines, which he recorded even after he left the show.

good one!
