Prediction

PETER SAGAL, HOST:

In just a minute, we're going to ask our panelists to predict after the Scrabble outrage what will be the next big cheating scandal to come to light.

But first, let me tell you that support for NPR comes from NPR stations and the Economic Development Authority of Fairfax County Virginia, offering real estate advisory services, market intelligence and other resources for businesses interested in growing in Fairfax County. Details at powerofideas.org. Visit St. Pete-Clearwater, home to white sand beaches on Florida's Gulf Coast featuring Et Cultura, a five-day interactive music film and art festival November 15 through 19, at visitstpeteclearwater.com. And Lumber Liquidators - supporting rebuilding efforts in Aransas County, Texas, which was affected by Hurricane Harvey, providing materials supporting money to help rebuild public schools in that county. More at lumberliquidators.com.

Special thanks this week to HotChocolate Bakery and Revival Food Hall for feeding us, who's taking Thanksgiving pie preorders online until tomorrow. WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME is a production of NPR and WBEZ Chicago in association with Urgent Haircut Productions - Doug Berman, benevolent overlord. Philipp Goedicke writes our limericks. Our public address announcer is Paul Friedman. Our house manager's Tyler Greene. Our interns are Katie O'Reilly (ph) and Gianna Capadona. Our web guru is Beth Novey. B.J.

Now, panel, what will be the next big cheating scandal? Mr. Mo Rocca.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: Paula Poundstone.

PAULA POUNDSTONE: It's going to happen here on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME. I'm going to get every answer right in the entire show, which means there would have to be cheating.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: And John Hodgman.

JOHN HODGMAN: It will be revealed that two-thirds of all "Dancing With The Stars'" contestants are secret "Property Brothers" all in disguise. Ringers for King Drew.

BILL KURTIS: Well if any of that happens, we'll ask you about it on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME.

SAGAL: Thank you, Bill Kurtis. Thanks also to Mo Rocca, Paula Poundstone and our new friend John Hodgman. Thanks to all of you for listening. I am Peter Sagal, and we will see you next week.
