Prediction

PETER SAGAL, HOST:

In just a minute, we're going to ask our panelists to predict, now that Playboy has brought back nudity, what they're going to try if that doesn't work.

But first let me tell you that support for NPR comes from NPR stations and LifeLock, reminding consumers that identity thieves can pretend to pose as other people, taking over bank accounts, filing fake tax returns or doing other criminal acts. More at lifelock.com. The Economic Development Authority of Fairfax County, Va., offering real estate advisory services and other resources for businesses interested in starting, relocating and expanding in Fairfax County. Details at powerofideas.org. And Lumber Liquidators, a proud sponsor of NPR, offering more than 400 styles, including hardwood, bamboo, laminate and vinyl with flooring specialists at hundreds of stores nationwide. More at lumberliquidators.com or 1-800-HARDWOOD.

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 house manager is Don Hall. Our assistant house manager is Tyler Greene. Our intern is Kijin Higashibaba. Our web guru is Beth Novey. Special thanks to Revival Food Hall in downtown Chicago for feeding us. Yum. BJ Leiderman composed our theme. Our program is produced Robin Linn and Miles Doornbos, technical direction from Lorna White. Our CFO is Ann Nguyen. Our production coordinator, that's Robert Neuhaus. Our senior producer is Ian Chillag and the executive producer of WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME is Michael Linwood Danforth.

Now, panel, what will Playboy do if bringing back nudity does not work to save their magazine? Tom Bodett.

TOM BODETT: Fake nudes. The women are naked, but you can believe they aren't.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: Alexandra Petri.

ALEXANDRA PETRI: I think flip books, nude flip books. It's like porn if you go really quickly.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: Or Roy Blunt Jr.

ROY BLOUNT JR: When nude doesn't work, try naked.

(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)

BILL KURTIS: Well, if that does work, Roy, we'll ask you about it on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME.

SAGAL: Thank you, Bill Kurtis. Thanks also to Tom Bodett, Alexandra Petri and Roy Blunt Jr. Thanks to all of you for listening. We're so glad you came.

(APPLAUSE)

SAGAL: I'm Peter Sagal. We're going to see you next week.
