Wait Wait...I'm Not Done Yet!

Paula Poundstone

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Often described as the most beloved man in public radio, Carl Kasell pulls back the NPR curtain and shares hilarious and heartwarming stories of his life and his interactions with many other stars of NPR. For 30 years, Kasell was the voice millions of Americans woke up to each morning with “Morning Edition” on NPR. Known as the steady voice of authority and credibility, Kasell inexplicably began doing imitations of Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Henry Kissinger and many others, as well as making odd sounds on the comedy news quiz show, “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!” He served as Official Scorekeeper and Judge for 16 years before retiring in 2014. Kasell’s memoir takes you from his early life in North Carolina to his U.S. Army service in Italy where he met his first wife, Clara. You’ll read a touching account of the grief he and his son sustained when Clara contracted cancer and died, as well as the joy he felt several years later when he met his new love, Mary Ann Foster. “Wait Wait…I’m Not Done Yet!” is a must-read for Carl Kasell fans, “Wait Wait” fans, and NPR fans.
