Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me! in Normal

"Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!" from NPR and WBEZ will make its Normal debut this fall. Illinois State University’s Braden Auditorium will host WWDTM on Nov. 12, 2026, at 7:30 p.m., in celebration of WGLT’s 60th anniversary!
"Wait Wait" is NPR’s award-winning comedy news quiz show heard by over six million listeners every week. Along with a rotating panel of comedians and newsmakers, host Peter Sagal leads listeners through games, limericks, and spoofs. On each episode a celebrity guest joins for a brief interview and stays to play games while listener contestants call in to win the greatest prize of all – one of the "Wait Wait" voices on their voicemail.
Tickets for the general public will be available to purchase starting Sept. 25. Pre-sale tickets will be available to WGLT donors and underwriters. If you didn’t receive an email or text about the pre-sale and believe you are eligible, please contact us at [email protected].
