Just A Minute

​

Don't traduced wait wait - it is very funny & more spontaneous than the news quiz (where "Jeremy, who has been a naughty boy? Ah that would be ... " always sounds like JAM would be if they had the topics before hand to me). It has three comedians on the panel. There are structured rounds (bluff the listener - one true story & 2 made up of strange things in the news,  limericks (the weakest! And more). Yes there are listeners who ring in to answer questions but they can be funny & are the springboards for jokes, and there is a 'celebrity' round where they get someone famous ask them some general questions & then 3 questions about something tangentially linked to them (eg someone with a similar name). 

​

They have a great roster of male and female comedians (more females than most UK shows), a very funny chair, and I often wonder about ringing in from Australia to be on it.

 There is a News Quiz like radio panel show ( one of the very few) in the usa called Wait Wait Don't Tell me- except they have people call in as well as 3 'celebrities" to answer questions on the news.
